Seventy-one Celsius is the recommended temperature for cooking hamburgers to kill any bacteria they might contain.

Now research indicates 71 C is not enough to kill some forms of E. coli, including some that are dangerous to humans.

It opens the door to new worries about food safety.

Lynn McMullen, a food biologist and professor in the University of Alberta’s agriculture, food and nutritional science department, said she and her research colleagues estimate about two percent of all E. coli strains, both pathogenic and non-pathogenic, are resistant to heat. Studies are ongoing.

“That’s one of the pieces of information that we haven’t got, is what does it take to kill,” McMullen said.

“What we do know is, when we found the organisms … it was in a generic, non-pathogenic E. coli, but we have since found the same genetics in pathogenic strains.

“It is present in pathogenic strains of E. coli. Nobody had linked that to the heat resistance of these organisms.”

The same strains are also resistant to pressure. McMullen said exposure to 600 megapascals for 15 minutes was not enough to kill them.

McMullen and food microbiologist Michael Ganzle have been exploring the hardy E. coli strains since 2008.

Their paper published in the Sept. 9, 2015, Frontiers in Microbiology journal referenced a study in which “highly heat resistant E. coli are recovered in high numbers from inoculated beef patties that are cooked medium rare and even survive in burger patties that are cooked well done, corresponding to an internal temperature of 71 C.”

PULSES

Pulse sector faces ‘game changer’ Variety research, such as genetically modified chickpeas in India, could significantly reduce global imports

SEAN PRATT REPORTS FROM THE GLOBAL PULSE CONVENTION IN CESME, TURKEY, ABOUT WHAT IS DRIVING PULSE MARKETS

There is an urgent need to invest more in science and technology to enhance pulses production and reduce production costs.

MAHMOUD SOLH ICARDA DIRECTOR-GENERAL

CESME, Turkey — India is contemplating commercializing the world’s first genetically modified pulse crops.

“This would be a game changer,” said G. Chandrashekhar, a global agribusiness and commodity sector specialist.

Researchers at Assam Agricultural University have developed a GM chickpea that is resistant to the pod borer insect and has shown yield gains of 20 to 25 percent in greenhouse trials.

As well, the International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics has developed a pigeon pea resistant to the same insect.

Chandrashekhar said the two crops give hope to a country where pulse yields are 40 percent of what they are in Canada.

“The initial results are absolutely encouraging,” he told delegates attending the 2016 Global Pulse Convention.

A recent article in the Indian Express said India’s Group of Secretaries has recommended commercializing the two GM crops.

The group estimates the two crops would reduce pulse imports by 2.75 million tonnes. India imported 4.6 million tonnes of pulses in 2014-15 valued at US$2.8 billion.

Research spending was a hot topic at the convention.

“There is an urgent need to invest more in science and technology to enhance pulses production and reduce production costs,” said Mahmoud Solh, director-general of the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA).

Huseyin Arslan, president of the Global Pulse Confederation, echoed that concern in his address to conference delegates.

COMMODITY SECTOR SPECIALIST

ICARDA DIRECTOR-GENERAL

He said global pulse production has increased 54 percent since the 1960s compared to 188 percent for wheat, 306 percent for corn and 814 percent for soybeans.

Arslan said total annual research funding for all 13 pulse crops is estimated at $177 million, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the expenditure on other crops.

“We were an orphan child up until now, and we don’t want to be an orphan child from now on,” he said.

Solh said plenty of good work is happening on pulse research despite the dearth in funding.

I C A R D A ha s c re at e d e a r l y maturing varieties of lentils that are replacing rice fallow in India and Bangladesh. Rice is grown on 107 million acres in India, so this could be a significant breakthrough.

Farmers can now grow rice from Ju l y t o O c t o b e r, l e nt i l s f ro m November to February and sesame from March to May. “You can simply harvest the rice and grow lentils directly without cultivating and this is very, very important,” said Solh.

“The director general of ICARDA in India is now leading a revolution in pulses in order to achieve selfsufficiency in the year 2018.”

ICARDA has also developed a cold tolerant chickpea that is allow-

ing farmers in west Asia and North Africa to plant it as a winter crop instead of a spring crop.

“By moving the crop from spring, which is grown on residual moisture, to winter we can easily double the farmer yields,” he said.

A drought tolerant chickpea it developed is now grown on 85 percent of Turkey’s chickpea acres, delivering a yield advantage of 267 pounds per acre over other varieties.

“In 2007, when we had very serious drought, it was the only crop that farmers could make money on,” said Solh.

The variety provided Turkish farmers with an estimated additional $165 million in revenue that year.

ICARDA has also worked with the Ethiopian Institute of Agriculture Research to triple lentil production, double chickpea production and increase fababean output 40 percent over the last 15 years in that country.

It has developed iron and zinc rich lentil varieties to help nourish poor people around the world.

Other achievements include a heat tolerant fababean that has tripled production in Sudan, a low neurotoxin grass pea grown in India and Bangladesh and a lentil more suitable for combining.

A senior official with a biorefinery plant in northeastern Saskatchewan has been identified as the victim of a fatal farming accident earlier this month.

Francis Rodier, chief executive officer of Can Pro Ingredients Inc. in Arborfield, died June 1 when the boom of the sprayer he was operating came in contact with a power line.

RCMP officers from the Carrot River detachment said they responded to the scene near Highway 55, where a sudden death had been reported.

Police have completed their investigation, which is now in the hands of the province’s occupational health and safety division.

“He ran into the power line, it’s as simple as that,” said a close friend of Rodier.

“There’s all sorts of safety concerns there all the time, so an accident was an accident.”

A community member said the incident was discovered by a male driver who passed a plume of smoke that seemed out of place.

The community member, who later talked to the driver, said the driver immediately phoned 911, and the sprayer exploded shortly after.

Can Pro Ingredients operates a refinery that produces canola oil, canola protein concentrate and high-protein alfalfa.

“He will be greatly missed,” said a co-worker at the company.

The company said in a statement: “Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Rodier’s family during this most difficult time.”

Rodier leaves behind his wife and three children. The funeral was held in Arborfield June 8.

Fred Bradshaw, MLA for the riding of Carrot River Valley, said it was a tragic accident that affects all farmers in the area.

“We have some of these accidents seem to happen every year and they’re hard on families, they’re hard on everyone,” he said.

Bradshaw said he sprayed for 21 years before becoming an MLA and understands the importance of spatial awareness.

“Most of the lines are buried around there. That was done years ago.… When you get used to not having power lines, you don’t watch for them as much,” Bradshaw said.

“We want people to remember there still are power lines out there.” tennessa.wild@producer.com

There’s a real resistance, but it (meat thermometer) really is the only way to safely cook grilled meats, is to know what temperature. I know that 71C is not probably sufficient.

LYNN MCMULLEN UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA FOOD BIOLOGIST

HARD TO KILL » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 McMullen said she has been working with Dr. Linda Chui of the U of A’s medical immunology department, who has found that some E. coli strains responsible for human illness have the same genetics as the heat resistant types already identified.

“We know it is a problem. We know it’s out there. We know from looking at genome databases it’s in approximately two percent of all E. coli.”

“What we don’t know is what it takes to kill it.”

She said experiments continue, but in the meantime she recommends continued use of the 71 C rule and the use of a meat thermometer to ensure that internal temperature is reached in meat.

“There’s a real resistance, but it really is the only way to safely cook grilled meats, is to know what temperature. I know that 71 is not probably sufficient.”

McMullen and her colleagues are also trying to determine the prevalence of heat-resistant E. coli in the food system by working with Health Canada in Ottawa and Agriculture Canada in Lacombe, Alta.

Ron Davidson, a director with the Canadian Meat Council, said the research does raise questions.

“We do try to produce meat that’s free of E. coli and there is a lot of testing done on it, but up until now, we’ve always been able to say that the heat will kill E. coli,” he said.

Davidson said the meat industry has procedures that result in the lowest possible presence of bacteria on meat products, and the 71 C cooking temperature recommendation “is an effective and approved method of inactivating any residual bacteria.”

Health Canada has announced plans to recommend irradiation as an option for ground beef, adding it to the list of other foods for which irradiation is already approved.

The department said it plans to post the recommendation to Canada Gazette sometime this month, opening it to a public comment period.

McMullen said she doesn’t know if irradiation will kill the heat and pressure-resistant E. coli.

“I suspect irradiation would destroy the DNA because it is a different mode of action, but we haven’t tested it, so I can’t say for sure.”

Davidson said the meat industry has supported meat irradiation for years as an additional food safety option.

“We’re very much supportive of this and we recognize that it’s an option and that it would be labelled, so people would have the choice,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

Bayer facility hopes to develop hybrid wheat within 10 years

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bayer CropsScience’s new mu l t i m i l l i o n - d o l l a r w h e at breeding station in central Saskatchewan is expected to produce its first hybrid wheat varieties in about eight years.

Company officials said new spring wheat hybrids developed at the station will likely be registered in the first half of the next decade and should be available to commercial growers before 2025.

Bayer officially opened its new wheat breeding station June 10.

The facility is located near Pike Lake, Sask., about 45 kilometres southwest of Saskatoon.

“This facility will focus solely on the development of spring wheat hybrids,” said Marcus Weidler, in charge of Bayer’s Canadian seed operations.

“Hybrid wheat is typically higher yielding than non-hybrids and, more importantly, it shows a

much higher yield stability so under stress conditions, hybrid yields are more stable.”

Weidler said hybrid wheat varieties will mitigate weather-related risks and reduce uncertainty among prairie wheat growers, resulting in more predictable f a r m g a t e re t u r n s f ro m t h e world’s second most widely grown cereals crop.

Construction of the Bayer’s new facility began in 2014 and was completed on budget and ahead of schedule.

The Pike Lake centre consists of laboratories, office space, equipment sheds, and 480 acres of land for field trials.

During peak season in spring and fall, it will employ 15 to 20 people.

Weidler said the facility has a pipeline full of promising breeding material, the best of which could be registered and commercialized within a decade.

RENEWABLE DIESEL

Hybridization of spring wheat is viewed by some as a major breakthrough for an industry that has been losing the fight for acres to other, more profitable crops such as canola.

The new wheat breeding facility at Pike Lake will be part of Bayer’s large global wheat breeding network. Weidler said the facility is part of a $24 million investment in Canadian wheat breeding that has taken place over the last four years at Bayer.

The company has been operating a smaller breeding program at Innovation Place on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon for years.

Weidler said the company is working with seed grower organizations to determine how new wheat varieties will be increased and distributed to commercial growers.

Unlike pedigreed canola seed, which is mostly produced in southern Alberta, the production of Bayer’s pedigreed wheat seed will take place at various locations across the West.

In terms of yield potential, it is expected that Bayer’s first generation of spring wheat hybrids will offer a double-digit yield bump over existing spring wheat varieties that offer similar quality characteristics.

Bayer’s new hybrids are expected to compete with Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Prairie Spring (CPSR) varieties, using parentage from the CWRS, CPSR and Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) classes.

“It’s very early right now to make any well founded estimates (on yields) … but I can assure you that if you would see a yield increase below eight to 10 percent, we wouldn’t be bringing that product to market,” Weidler said.

“It has to be significant.”

Grain Growers of Canada president Gary Stanford said Bayer’s investment in Saskatchewan is good news for wheat producers across the West.

He said investments by private sector breeding companies will complement breeding efforts that are taking place at Agriculture Canada and other publicly funded breeding centres.

In addition to higher yield potential, hybridization could deliver a d d i t i o na l b e n e f i t s t h ro u g h improved drought tolerance, better disease and pest resistance and reduced reliance on agricultural chemicals.

“As farmers, we’re always looking for new technologies and new ways of producing better crops,” said Stanford, who also serves as director with the Alberta Wheat Commission.

“It’s another opportunity for us as farmers to have more options as far as what we grow and how we grow it.”

Bayer’s other operations in Saskatchewan include trait development offices, regulatory offices, a crop protection development lab and a global innovation centre for canola, located northeast of Saskatoon.

“Ca na d a is on e of th e most important wheat producers in the world and it has a very innovative grower base,” Weidler said.

“For us, it was a natural choice to have a (wheat breeding) station like this in Saskatchewan.”

New biofuel may boost canola demand

Hydrotreated vegetable oil outperforms biodiesel in cold weather, fuels demand for oilseed

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Biodiesel may be a renewable fuel, but it shouldn’t be confused with renewable diesel.

Over the last year, renewable diesel, sometimes called green diesel or hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), has made news because governments and private companies are switching to this new source of fuel.

• UPS, one of the world’s largest couriers, signed agreements with renewable diesel suppliers in Europe and the United States last July that will see the company shift more than 12 percent of its fuel to renewable diesel and other alternative fuels by next year.

• Volvo Penta, a supplier of marine and industrial engines, said this spring that it will allow the use of renewable diesel in all of its diesel engines, including Volvo trucks.

• The cities of Oakland and San Francisco have switched to renewable diesel for their fleet of diesel powered vehicles. Oakland will now use about one million litres of renewable diesel a year.

Users say they are pleased with their decision to switch.

“Renewable diesel has a huge impact, significantly reducing life cycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 percent less versus conventional petroleum diesel,” said Mark Wallace, UPS’s senior vicepresident for global engineering and sustainability.

We have uncovered absolutely no performance hiccups by switching to renewable diesel — it’s almost too good be true.

GARY LENTSCH CITY OF OAKLAND FLEET MANAGER

Gary Lentsch, fleet manager with the City of Oakland, said the move to renewable diesel was easy.

“We have uncovered absolutely no performance hiccups by switching to renewable diesel — it’s almost too good to be true,” Lentsch told www.government-fleet.com.

Biodiesel and renewable diesel are both made from canola oil, soy-

bean oil and waste cooking oil, but there are key differences in the manufacturing process and perf o r m a n c e. A c c o rd i n g t o t h e Advanced Biofuels USA website, biodiesel comprises mono-alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids.

Renewable diesel is a not an ester and “distinct from biodiesel.”

“It (renewable diesel) has completely different properties,” said Joanne Ivancic, executive director of Advanced Biofuels USA, which promotes renewable fuel.

“It is very close to kerosene and very close to jet fuel. So a facility (manufacturing) renewable diesel, or jet fuel, can probably switch between the two (fuels).”

The most significant performance difference is that it’s possible to burn 100 percent renewable diesel. In comparison, biodiesel is used in a blend with regular diesel.

“Renewable diesel … does not have any blending limitations and can be easily ‘dropped in’ to our fuel supply chain (for UPS) without modifications to our existing diesel trucks and equipment,” Wallace said.

One of the major challenges with biodiesel is its performance in cold climates. Research has shown that

biodiesel gels when temperatures drop below a certain point.

“You have to use a 20 percent (blend) in the summertime and go back down in the winter. It’s difficult,” Inancic said.

“With renewable diesel you don’t have to worry about that. That’s definitely important to Canada.”

Freezing temperatures are less of an issue for renewable diesel because the manufacturing process removes oxygen from the fuel.

The demand for oilseed feedstocks is potentially much higher than biodiesel because renewable diesel can replace petroleum diesel.

Agrisoma Biosciences, a Canadian company that markets its own variety of the oilseed carinata, is hoping the biofuel sector dramatically increases renewable diesel production.

“The traditional first generation biodiesel market, which is serviced by rapeseed and canola, is flat,” said Steven Fabijanski, Agrisoma president. “Carinata is a excellent fit on the feedstock side for this second generation HVO (renewable diesel) process.” robert.arnason@producer.com

SEAN PRATT REPORTS FROM THE GLOBAL PULSE CONVENTION IN CESME, TURKEY, ABOUT WHAT IS DRIVING PULSE MARKETS

India’s pulse imports have doubled since 2010, reaching 4.65 million tonnes in 2014-15. |

STOCK PHOTO

PULSE MARKETS

Pulse demand outweighs production India’s growing population has prompted the government to increase research into high yielding varieties CESME, Turkey — India’s pulse demand will continue to grow at a frenetic pace, according to newly released estimates from the Indian government.

The trend increases the pressure on India’s government to expand domestic production but it also will likely create new opportunities for pulse exporters such as Canada.

Total annual consumption will reach 24 million tonnes by 2020, up from 22 million tonnes in 2015.

However, that’s just the start of the growth trend. Consumption is expected to reach 30 million tonnes by 2030 and 39 million tonnes by 2050, based on a population estimate of 1.69 billion.

Shri Avinash Srivastava, secretary of India’s ministry of food processing industries, told delegates attending the 2016 Global Pulse Convention that India has a lot of work to do.

“We need to produce more in our country,” he said.

Most Indians are vegetarians. The

World Health Organization says a vegetarian diet requires 70 grams of pulses a day, but India has enough pulses to provide only 37 grams.

India produces 24 percent of the world’s pulses, including 55 percent of its chickpeas and 63 percent of its pigeon peas.

Farmers harvested 17.2 million tonnes of pulses in 2014-15, but that isn’t nearly enough to meet demand. A growing gap between consumption and production is being met by imports.

India imported 4.64 million tonnes of pulses in 2014-15, which is double the amount it imported five years ago.

Srivastava said the pulse industry faces a myriad of challenges starting with the lack of high-yielding varieties.

Wheat yields have increased 460 percent since the 1950s and rice yields by 400 percent, but pulse yields have lagged with a 170 percent increase.

Half of India’s crops are irrigated,

PULSES FALL BEHIND Yield growth since the 1950s Wheat Rice Pulses

+460% +400% +170%

but only 16 percent of pulses, so the crop is mostly dependent on monsoon rains, which have been spotty the last couple of years.

There is little government procurement of pulses compared to wheat and rice and too many intermediaries between the farmer and the consumer, which results in lower prices for farmers and higher prices for consumers.

The government bans pulse exports except for kabuli chickpeas and organic pulses, which is another disincentive for growing the crop.

Srivastava said pulse crops are more prone to pest attacks than cereal crops, and farmers do not invest adequately in inputs.

Those factors have created a significant shortfall that is driving up the price of the staple food ingredient for many of the country’s poor.

“Last year there was an unprecedented rise in the prices of pulses,” he said.

The government responded by developing initiatives designed to boost pulse production and keep food price inflation in check.

Many traders are not pleased with India’s market-distorting policies.

The government has increased its financial allocation for pulse research, reduced crop insurance premiums payable by farmers and is providing a soil health card for every farmer to assist in determining their fertilization requirements.

It has increased minimum support prices for 2016 kharif pulse crops by

Look who’s hiding in your stored grain!

6.4 to 9.2 percent over last year.

It is starting to build a government stockpile of pulses and is importing pulses and distributing them to the market in an effort to contain prices.

An online trading system has been established to connect farmers directly with traders to reduce the number of intermediaries.

As well, it is helping the country’s more than 14,000 largely outdated pulse mills build new plants or upgrade the old ones.

G. Chandrashekhar, a global agribusiness and commodity sector specialist, said the government’s policies have led to a slowdown in imports since the start of 2016.

“Traders have turned rather apprehensive about government policies and intervention,” he said.

That is causing a further tightening of supplies, which is the opposite of what the government wants. sean.pratt@producer.com

PROFIT EXPECTATIONS

Hog outlook optimistic Feed prices and demand from China are the wild cards

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

DES MOINES, Iowa — Hog farmers should have good profits this year, weaker profits next year and a rebound in 2018, a leading U.S. market analyst told farmers at the World Pork Expo.

However, in the complicated mathematics of hog production economics, a number of factors could substantially alter that profitability forecast.

Steve Meyer of Express Markets Inc. noted the recent rally in crop futures prices, but expects it won’t last.

“We think it’s a weather scare,” he said of the crop rally. Stronger feed prices would erode hog producer profits.

If Meyer’s most reasonable expectations hold, U.S. hog farmers would earn an average of $8.58 per hundredweight this year, which is good by historical standards.

“Profitability for this year still looks to be pretty good,” he said.

Farmers face close to breakeven prices next year, but 2018 looks like a return to substantial profits.

However, wild cards include: • the switch from El Nino to La Nina • China’s demand for U.S. pork • fourth quarter packer capacity Hog profitability is based on the spread between crop prices and pork prices, which means a n y t h i n g t hat s i g n i f i c a nt l y

swings either variable much has an outsized effect on the profit margin.

Meyer said he is skeptical of the widespread fears that U.S. crops will be ravaged by drought this summer because of an expected switch from El Nino to La Nina.

He said the markets fret every year in early June about possible coming weather impacts, but he thinks the switch to La Nina will happen too late to have much impact on U.S. crops.

He also believes today’s hog futures prices are too high.

Fair price analysis suggests they should be a few dollars lower.

Today’s prices are justified only if China comes into the market for massive imports of U.S. pork.

Meyer doubts China would play a big enough role for long enough to keep prices inflated.

However, Iowa State University economist Dermot Hayes said he thinks China will likely keep buying large amounts of U.S. pork this year because domestic policies reduced Chinese production.

That factor should disappear in a year or two, he said, but it is not surprising this year to see China importing pork in a big way.

Meyer suggested farmers lock in late 2016 hog prices for a portion of projected production, noting the prices are good and the potential for a packer capacity problem late this year.

Packer capacity was pushed to the limit a couple of weeks late

last year. That will get worse this year.

“This fall, it looks like we’re going to get there probably for six or eight weeks,” said Meyer.

Hog price crashes are tightly c o n n e c t e d t o h o g nu m b e r s exceeding slaughter capacity.

However, two large slaughter plants should open in the United States next year, so that problem should disappear for a few years.

Capacity should have been a problem in recent years, but unexpected factors kept it from becoming too bad.

In 2013, hog supplies were restrained by the high feed prices of the 2012 drought rally, and in 2014, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus also reduced hog numbers, taking pressure off the system.

However, as PED receded last year, it became clear that hog numbers can grow too quickly for the system to handle.

Meyer’s forecast for profits of US$8.58 per hundredweight could turn out cautious if Chinese demand continues and crop prices fall.

“It could go from a pretty good year to a very good year if these costs go back down.” ed.white@producer.com

DES MOINES, Iowa — Analysts at the World Pork Expo gave grain farmers little reason to be bullish this year, discounting ideas that a La Nina will soon kick in, leading to a dry Midwest and higher crop prices.

It could mean crop production will be bountiful in the U.S. Midwest.

“If it hasn’t turned into a La Nina by the middle of July, don’t worry about it,” said Iowa State University agricultural weather guru Elwynn Taylor.

Grain market analyst Eric Scholer of Express Markets Inc. said today’s crop futures prices probably won’t last until the fall.

“I think this premium we’ve seen come into the markets in the last few weeks is, for a grain producer, a selling opportunity,” said Scholer.

“Then we’re looking for markets to head lower towards fall.”

Scholer is predicting autumn corn prices of less than US$3.50 per bushel. New crop December corn recently has traded around $4.40.

Scholer’s price prediction is based on the assumption of a good U.S. crop. He is discounting the possibility of a La Nina happening soon enough to cause dry weather that would damage the U.S. corn crop.

Drought vulnerability Taylor said corn crops will have passed their most vulnerable water-reliant period by the end of July, and La Nina, which tends to create drought conditions in the Midwest, is not yet active.

Soybeans are still vulnerable to drought in August, but when a La Nina comes in it will be weeks before the full effect is felt.

Only a big cut to U.S. production would have a major price impact, Scholer said.

“There’s enough global stocks of all commodities and grains that we

If it hasn’t turned into a La Nina by the middle of July, don’t worry about it.

ELWYNN TAYLOR IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY

don’t see any risk, unless we have a drought here in the Midwest,” said Scholer.

The recent grain market rally has built in a weather premium based on the possibility that a La Nina will occur while the crops are most vulnerable.

The longer that the La Nina does not occur, and the longer that Midwest weather is favourable, the greater the likelihood that the market’s premium will dissipate.

Taylor said La Ninas tend to last for more than a year, so next summer is more likely to see significant production losses if the system comes into force.

Taylor thinks Midwestern weather has entered a 25-year period of volatility, following the previous stable period from the early 1990s to 2012.

It means farmers are facing more production risk than they have experienced for almost two decades.

“We have just come back into a weather pattern that will be much like the 1980s, I suspect,” he said. ed.white@producer.com

GROWING DEMAND

Camelina acreage growing, but not fast enough Aquaculture industry snapping up stocks of camelina oil for fish food while producers struggle to keep up with demand FACTS ABOUT FISH OIL

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

T h i s y e a r, Sa s k at c h e w a n i s expected to grow about 5,000 acres of camelina, but growers and the industry will need to boost production soon to satisfy escalating demand.

Smart Earth Seeds, a camelina production and plant breeding firm based in Vancouver, has developed customers in the aquaculture industry who want to buy camelina oil for fish food.

But those customers aren’t going to wait around for a decade while the camelina industr y slowly increases production.

“The whole thing in aquaculture these days is sustainability and marine-free diets. It turns out that camelina can substitute for fish oil in the diet (for) trout and salmon,” said Jack Grushcow, chief executive officer of Smart Earth Seeds, an affiliate of Linnaeus Plant Sciences.

“That’s a big deal because fish oil sells for about US$2,200 a tonne.

Grushcow said sales of camelina oil to salmon and trout farms in the United States, Chile and Canada have grown quickly, but he could sell much, much more.

“I have customers that want 1,000 metric tonnes of oil per month. I have some that want as much as 3,000 to 5,000 tonnes per month,” he said. “We have a lot of work to do to get up to that scale but there’s no reason why we can’t…. We’re pushing to double our acres to 10,000 next year. Then you will see us really start to ramp up.”

The market may be there but Grushcow and camelina growers will have to jump several hurdles to boost production: • The logistical problems of getting camelina to market must be solved.

• Crushing plants will have to be

The camelina industry hopes to break into the fish oil market.

Here’s what it is getting into: • In 2014, the global market for fish oil was US$2.25 billion.

• The aquaculture industry uses about $1.97 billion in fish oil for feed.

• About 67 percent of the fish oil is used on trout and salmon farms.

• Fish oil is also used for human consumption, including supplements and nutraceuticals.

• By 2020, the global fish oil market is projected to reach $3.3 billion.

• The industry has to find customers for camelina meal.

Denis Keller, who farms near Landis, Sask., has been growing camelina for three years because it performs well on his light, sandy land. Last year, his camelina yielded about 25 bushels per acre.

“It’s a drought-tolerant crop,” Keller said. “It yielded 10 bushels an acre (more) than what canola would.”

Camelina fetches a price of $10 to $12 per bushel, but input costs are significantly lower than canola.

Camelina seed costs about $20 per acre and nitrogen requirements are about half of canola.

The agronomics and economics may be a good fit for the soils of westcentral Saskatchewan, where most camelina is grown, but getting the

crop to market is a challenge.

Grushcow described the logistics of camelina as “dysfunctional.” Producers in the region, west of Saskatoon, truck the camelina seed to Chaplin Grain Corp. in Chaplin, Sask., on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The seed is then transported by rail to Oregon, where it is crushed, and then moved again to aquaculture customers in Chile, the U.S. and Canada.

Grushcow said it would be easier to process camelina where it’s grown.

That may happen in Landis because Grushcow is collaborating with a group of producers in the area.

The Landis Producer Co-op own and operate a former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator and the co-operative is planning to expand

its range of services.

“We, as the Landis Producer Coop, are looking very seriously at setting up a cleaning plant (for camelina) in conjunction with our elevator,” said Keller, co-op chair.

“This would be a help for our community… and a real promotion to grow camelina in this area….

There would be a lot more interest if we had a facility closer at hand to process it.”

If the co-operative moves forward on a cleaning plant the next logical step is a crushing facility in Landis, Grushcow said.

“If we’re going to develop this crop in Western Canada we’ve got to start crushing it here.”

Processing and crushing facilities will create local buyers for camelina but the industry will need to find

customers for camelina meal, which has high levels of Omega 3 oils.

Last year, the CFIA approved feeding camelina meal to broiler hens in Canada and Smart Earth Seeds is waiting on approval for layer hen diets.

However, there is usually a lag between approval and actual customers.

“Just because we have broiler approval… doesn’t mean (producers) are taking 50 tonnes,” Grushcow said.

University of Saskatchewan animal scientists are also studying the potential of camelina in dairy cow rations.

There may be multiple challenges, but Gruschcow remains optimistic about camelina’s long-term potential.

“A new big crop hasn’t been commercialized in Canada for 30 or 40 years, since canola came in…. This is agriculture. It takes a while,” he said.

“I don’t see any reason why we can’t get (camelina) to at least half a million, or a million acres.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Soybeans enjoy longest price rally in decades MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

W

orries about a potential drying trend in North American cropping areas and confirmation of reduced soybean and corn production in South America kept crop prices edging higher last week.

Indeed, last week marked the ninth consecutive weekly increase for soybeans, the longest bull run for that crop in 43 years. The rally started from an exceptionally low point in February, but has carried soybeans up to the highest point since the summer of 2014, although still shy of the $13-plus level common in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Canola’s rally has been a little less aggressive, but futures added about $10 a tonne last week. The rally in canola was all the more respectable as the Canadian dollar neared US79 cents, up from less than 77 cents at the start of June.

Still, canola has not yet hit the levels seen last summer when drought worries in the western Prairies fueled a rally.

Market rallies need constant refuelling with bullish news to keep them going.

Last week’s U.S. Department of Agriculture monthly supply and demand report confirmed its previous cuts of Argentina’s soy crop, and lowered its estimate of Brazil’s soy crop to 97 million tonnes, from 99 million in May. Brazil’s corn crop dropped to 77.5 million tonnes from 81 million in May. The news fed the soybean and corn rally, but it might have been the last chapter in that story because the soybean harvests in South America are now mostly done.

With the problems in South America, the market expects international crop demand will turn to the United States for corn and soybeans.

Because of the improved export demand expectations, USDA trimmed its forecast for year end corn and soybean domestic stocks for the current crop year.

It also reduced its forecast for domestic year-end stocks for corn and soybeans 2016-17, but raised its stocks outlook for wheat.

And it cut its forecast for global 2016-17 year-end stocks for soybeans and corn, but raised its outlook for wheat to a record high.

Indeed, the report was pricenegative for wheat as U.S. winter wheat farmers begin harvest of what is expected to be a record high yield at 50.5 bushels an acre.

In the coming weeks, the market will remain riveted on weather forecasts.

The U.S. Weather Service Climate Prediction Center shows warmer than normal temperatures in the

Midwest through the summer and a drier trend in the western corn belt in the latter part of the growing season.

Another weather model, the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction Climate Forecast System version two, has a daily forecast for the month of July that has been getting progressively drier in the Midwest since the start of June.

Fortunately, this forecast shows average to above average moisture for the Canadian Prairies for July.

On the government report front, Statistics Canada will release its seeded area report June 29 and the USDA will release its report the following day.

Early this week, the market was pricing in the possibility for a surprise on the high end for U.S. soybean acreage when the USDA report comes out.

But the market was also weighing the potential for a warm, dry July in the Midwest. The big funds last week continued to build their

record net long positions in soybeans, meaning they are generally betting on higher prices.

If the weather does not turn out hot and dry, there could be a rapid price pull back.

It is worth noting that the USDA’s forecasts for global soybean 2016-17 use and ending stocks works out to a stocks-to-use ratio of just over 20 percent or about 74 days worth of supply.

The last time ending stocks fell to 74 days supply was 2011-12 and in the summer of 2012, U.S. soybean futures soared to more than $17, but prices that summer were also being driven higher by a June-July drought in the Midwest.

Soybeans have recently traded between $11.50 and $12, so there is potential for a further rally of $2 to $3 and of course that would also help to support canola futures.

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICE FALLS The weighted average fed steer price was $156.39 per hundredweight, down $4.45, and heifers were too lightly traded to establish a trend.

It was one year ago that the Alberta fed cattle market topped at $203.50 per cwt.

On a per head basis, fed steers are down more than $600 from this time last year.

Delivered dressed bids last week were in the mid-$260s per hundredweight delivered, $5-$6 lower than the previous week.

Cattle priced for delivery in the first half of July were lower than those to be delivered at the end of this month.

Market-ready fed numbers have picked up and will increase into summer. Packers have responded by increasing slaughter levels. With the exception of the holiday shortened week ending May 28, both western Canadian packers have been putting in five-day slaughter weeks since mid-May. Feedlots are selling aggressively to pull forward cattle and lessen the volume sold in the coming dog days of summer.

With more calves entering the slaughter mix, there has been a seasonal decline in grading. Canadian AAA/Prime as a percent of all A grades is at the lowest level this year at 59.53 percent.

With AAA and Prime on the decline, more cattle are grading AA. Larger fed cattle supplies yearover-year are forecasted for the second half of this year and will put more meat on the domestic market.

Strong export and domestic demand will be needed to work through increased production.

In the United States, cash prices dipped mid-week but firmed at the end, closing steady to $3 higher with top end dressed sales at US$210 per hundredweight.

U.S. feedlots are finally posting profits following a year and a half of negative margins.

Steer carcasses were reported at 859 pounds, down three pounds from the previous week. It was the fourth consecutive week that U.S. weights trended below year ago levels.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT heifers saw prices mostly steady to $4 lower.

Feeders heavier than 800 pounds traded unevenly based on lot size and quality.

The weekly sale volume fell 16 percent to 14,170 head. Volume normally falls until the end of July.

Exports to May 28 seasonally declined, but for a sixth straight week were significantly larger than year ago.

Interest in calves and grass cattle has likely peaked for the season and prices for light feeders will likely weaken, but the price of heavier cattle typically firms through the summer.

Auction offerings should dwindle and trade ranges are expected to widen, depending on lot size and quality.

Bred cows ranged $1,400-$2,000 per head, and cow-calf pairs were $1,700-$3,300.

CRAIG’S VIEW

ANIMAL WELFARE

Production demands must consider animals, consumers

I

t is reasonable to assert that farm animals destined to live short lives should live comfortably.

It’s tempting to set down conditions for animals — hens, we are discussing here — based on what we believe is instinctive: freedom to roam, roost and brood.

With this in mind, there is a movement in the animal welfare field to push farmers away from caged hens, even from enriched cages, to cage-free or free-range.

There are many issues with this, but two of them merit discussion. First, it’s not clear that cage-free or free-range hens are happier or healthier. We might believe so, but the evidence is inconclusive.

And if farmers gravitate to the more capital- and labour-intensive practices that go along with free range or cage-free systems, it will increase the price of eggs, which can form the basis of inexpensive, healthy meals.

The movement away from conventional caged hens has been speedy. Or we should say, the announcements have been speedy. The actual move will take years.

Canadian egg farmers are pursuing a complete transition away from caged hens by 2036.

It’s estimated that most farms will complete the switch before then. The delayed implementation should give farms an opportunity to spread out over time the significant capital investment necessary to make the changeover.

In recent months, Wal-Mar t and Loblaws said they will buy only cage-free e g g s by 2 0 2 5 , w h i l e Ti m Ho r t o n s, McDonald’s and other restaurants have announced similar goals.

This despite studies that seem to support what several poultry experts have been saying: there are downsides to every method of hen housing.

Caged hens may not have a lot of room, but they can still be healthier than their counterparts in other systems.

The death rate among cage-free hens ranges from 40 to 50 percent. Disease, feather pecking, cannibalism and foot sores significantly increase in cage-free housing.

Animal rights activists contend these problems can be addressed with better farm practices, which tend to involve more labour and, as a result, higher costs.

It must be acknowledged that chicken handling practices have improved significantly and continue to do so, thanks to better training on euthanasia, transportation and environmental procedures, as well as accredited food safety programs, controls on barn temperatures, air quality, cleanliness, egg collection, egg storage and disease testing.

These improvements could better serve the needs of the hens, rather than regulations that impose human principles.

A study by the University of California, Davis, found that it costs about 13 percent more to produce eggs in barns with enriched cage spaces (larger cages with perches and scratching and pecking areas) than it does in conventional cage operations.

Eggs from free-run facilities cost 36 percent more to produce.

Farmers cannot absorb all of the costs.

Some will be passed on to consumers.

Many of us might be willing to pay more for eggs, but what of lower income families who depend on eggs for inexpensive protein and vitamins? Has anyone asked them if they can pay more?

Most animal rights activists are earnest and genuine in their beliefs. But it may be possible that working with farmers to improve practices, rather than fighting to impose changes, would be best for animals, farmers and consumers.

CROP DISEASE

It’s everywhere, and we know that there is a level of pressure and a level of the disease that we’re probably going to see in almost every field.

REHABILITATION

Prison farm saga reopens as Liberals plan public meetings CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

T

he federal government is considering re-opening some of Canada’s closed prison farms.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale announced June 2 that the federal government is conducting a feasibility study restoring the two prison farms near Kingston, Ont. “This process will allow citizens, business leaders, and other stakeholders to share their visions for what the program could look like. It will allow the government to review the costs and efficacy of reinstatement,” Goodale said in response to

a friendly question from a fellow Liberal MP. For the next two months, Canadians can submit their thoughts to Correctional Services Canada about the prison farms online. The agency also plans to hold a town hall style meeting in Kingston with local residents — many of whom have been pushing for the farms to be reinstated. The online submission date ends Aug. 2.

As of June 13, a date for the meeting had not been set.

Once the pride of the federal prison system, supplying some $2 million in fresh produce to Canadian penitentiaries, the six prison farms were closed in 2010 by the former Conservative government as part of its tough on crime agenda.

The surprise decision, then Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said, was prompted because the farms were no longer seen as a useful way of rehabilitating inmates.

Less than one percent of inmates,

Many people said closing the prison farms didn’t make sense.

The farms provided meaningful work experience and training, as well as rehabilitation and therapy.

JEFF PETERS SOPF ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

he told reporters in 2009, “learned any skills that were relevant.”

About 300 inmates worked at Canada’s prison farms.

This, even though many considered the Kingston-area Frontenac farm as one of Canada’s leading dairy farms. Its award-winning herd was the result of a century of breeding efforts.

The farm also donated eggs to the local food bank.

Twenty-three of the cows were eventually placed on farms in the area, an arrangement organized by the Pen Farm Herd Co-op.

The intention was to return the animals to Correctional Services

Canada when the prison farms were reopened. Six years later, the herd has grown to 30.

The decision to shut the farms was met with stiff public resistance.

Weekly protests were held in Kingston, with some supporters later making the two-hour trek to Parliament Hill.

Blockades in front of Frontenac farm were organized, and two dozen protestors were eventually arrested.

A vigil continues to be held every Monday night at the entrance of the Frontenac Institution.

Yet, despite public pushback, the Conservative resolve to shut down

the farms was firm. Farms in the Maritimes and Western Canada were auctioned off, while the Frontenac farm was replaced with a laundry facility.

Six years later, with a new government in Ottawa, Canada’s prison farms are back on the federal government’s agenda.

Word of the feasibility study was welcomed by members of the National Farmers Union and the Save Our Prison Farms organization, who insist the farms helped support local business, protect farmland, and benefited inmates.

“Many people said closing the prison farms didn’t make sense,” Jeff Peters, a member of the SOPF organizing committee, said in a news release.

“The farms provided meaningful work experience and training, as well as rehabilitation and therapy.”

GENETIC MODIFICATION

It’s all about size in global marketplace

Debate is good, but listen, too

BY ALAN GUEBERT

S

ince late last summer, Big S e e d ’s b i g p l a y e r s h av e looked more like anxious high school kids hoping to pair off for the senior prom than international businesses investing in new products and markets.

The first to go courting was Monsanto. Last August, it offered nearly $46 billion for its Swiss classmate, Syngenta, only to be spurned. Syngenta later sold itself to China National Chemical Corp., or ChemChina, for $43 billion.

Next, in December, DuPont, owner of Pioneer, and Dow Chemical agreed to a “merger of equals.”

The influential magazine Economist saw it differently. It called the deal “a bad romance” pushed by “activist investors” looking for a fast buck instead of by management with a plan “to concentrate on higher-margin products.”

Either way, the new company, called DowDupont, believes it will pass antitrust muster by mid-summer to become a $130 billion a year giant.

Monsanto returned to the dance floor in March to make a pass at Bayer’s crop science unit for a reported $30 billion. Like Syngenta, though, Bayer declined Monsanto’s overtures.

Two months later, Bayer took the lead. On May 22, its boss, Werner Baumann, confirmed that Bayer hoped to buy Monsanto, the world’s biggest biotech seed company, for $62 billion, or a fat 37 percent premium to its May 9 share price.

The proposed deal didn’t get much love on Wall Street. Despite

The multinational companies that dominate the global seed and crop protection industry are consolidating. | FILE PHOTO Bayer’s sweet offer of $122 per share, investors didn’t lift the stock to that level even after the buyout went public, which is a rarity.

Sensing the deal might be headed for trouble, Baumann took to cable network CNBC May 23 to sell it directly to the American public.

“The beauty of this combination,” the German explained in pitch-perfect English, “is that both businesses are highly complementary … (each) with great science and great people.”

And, he added, Bayer isn’t just German. It, in fact, “has a 150-year heritage in the U.S. as a good corporate citizen that has more employees in the U.S. than Monsanto.”

However, Baumann’s instincts were right. Monsanto rejected the Bayer offer May 24. Hugh Grant,

Monsanto’s chief executive officer, curtly explained the kiss-off by saying the “current proposal significantly undervalues our company and also does not adequately address or provide reassurance for some of the potential financing and regulatory execution risks related to the acquisition.”

However, Bloomberg News did note that Grant “remains open to further deal talks.”

In other words, if you want to date Monsanto, Herr Baumann, bring more money.

How much more?

Some analysts say Bayer could boost its $122 per share bid to $140 because the combined firm (about 40 percent ag-based) would control nearly 30 percent of the global pesticide market, 36 percent of U.S. corn seed market and 28 per-

cent of the American soybean seed market.

As well, the combined company’s genetic material would be present in 80 percent of all corn sold in the U.S. and 90 percent of soybeans.

Consumer groups in the U.S. and Europe see that size as the key reason antitrust regulators on both continents should either kill the deal or require the newly merged company to heavily pare its joint holdings.

They shouldn’t hold their collective breath. A merged Bayer-Monsanto would be about equal in size of merged ChemChina-Syngenta, or about $67 billion in annual sales.

Green lighting one would likely green light both.

Also, while global GM seed sales are down one percent this year, which is a first, it’s hard to imagine any nation taking antitrust action against any global biotech company or merger of companies that argues scale is a vital element in the discovery of new and innovative ways to feed the world.

It means that a year from now six of the biggest Big Ag companies will likely be only three, and those Bigger Still firms will dominate 60 percent of the global seed market and 75 percent of the world’s ag chem market.

However, all w ill find their research efforts undermined by the new debt that each used to buy their bigger market position.

Still, it’s prom time and these pairs came to dance, and dance they are.

RE-EVALUATING SACRED COWS

Uncomfortable questions about gov’t supports HURSH ON AG

J

ohn F. Kennedy once famously said, “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

It’s unlikely that anyone was volunteering to pay more tax or take less support from governments back in Kennedy’s day, but the sentiment is just as important now as it was in 1961.

Farm groups typically lobby for lower taxes and better (richer) farm safety net programs. Through history, that has usually been easy to justify. Farm profitability has often been poor or even non-existent. To survive, producers needed every advantage governments could provide.

That’s not the situation now, and it hasn’t been the case in most sectors of the industry for a number of years. The most recent farm income statistics show farms are profitable, particularly grain farms and particularly in Saskatchewan.

Against this backdrop, it’s appropriate for Saskatchewan’s auditor to question the farm fuel tax exemption. Judy Ferguson notes the program doesn’t have a clear purpose.

The exemption costs $121 million a year in foregone revenue. Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall is quoted as saying the exemption averages $4,000 per farm. Of course, the larger the farm and the more fuel used, the greater the benefit.

When the farm economy has struggled, as has often been the case, the exemption was another way to improve the economic plight of producers. Any political party that suggested scrapping the exemption would have faced an immediate backlash.

Even now, it’s politically sensitive and it’s useful that the question has

been posed by someone who isn’t seeking votes.

There are arguments to support the exemption. Most provinces offer similar support, so if one province cuts the exemption, its producers would be at a disadvantage. And there’s the question of international competitiveness.

Farmers can also argue that most of the diesel and at least some of the gasoline isn’t burned while travelling provincial highways. If the fuel tax is to pay for highways, perhaps there’s an argument for farm exemption. However, taxes are seldom dedicated to a particular purpose. Money is collected and governments spend it as they see fit. With all the possible uses of taxpayer money from health care to education, and with a sizable deficit projected for this fiscal year, is it reasonable for farmers to continue receiving this tax break?

The same question applies to AgriInvest. Should the federal and provincial governments be doling out money to producers based simply on their net eligible sales?

Other than the need to make a matching deposit, this is free money with no strings attached.

It can be useful to build a nest egg to guard against returns taking a nosedive. However, it can also be money used as a down payment for land, thereby contributing to escalating land values.

For the record, I use the fuel tax exemption and happily collect my annual AgriInvest contribution.

However, I don’t feel entitled to it.

Some will argue that government waste is rampant so farmers might as well get their share. The better approach is to challenge where governments spend our money.

Old Age Security is another sacred cow needing examination. Why do all seniors get monthly payments even if they’re wealthy? And why has 65 remained the magic age?

These questions need to be asked, and agriculture shouldn’t be exempt from scrutiny.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

Y

ou have to admire Robert Saik’s gumption. Or not, depending on your point of

view.

The chief executive officer of AgriTrend showed up at an anti-Monsanto demonstration in Kelowna , B.C., May 21 sporting an “I (heart) GMOs” T-shirt and set up a few portable stands with signs, one of which read, “facts not fear. Know GMO.” Some demonstrators didn’t appreciate Saik’s educational activities.

A video posted on his Facebook page notes “Butterfly lady attacks,” in which a woman holds a small sign in front of his face. In another video, he engages in a lengthy, and ultimately fruitless, conversation about organics with the “butterfly lady,” before she knocks over his stands.

Is that the state of debate over genetically modified food these days?

Well, to be fair, a couple of demonstrators did engage Saik in reasoned discussion, prompting him to say, “this dialogue I had with you guys made my day.”

The debate over GM foods has become so polarized in some circles that many people who support them wouldn’t be willing to show up with such zest at one of the now ubiquitous anti-Monsanto demonstrations.

But there are opportunities for reasoned discussion on GMOs, including, of course, the pages of The Western Producer. For example, Purdue University has posted a blog on a study by its academics that states, as one professor puts it, “This is not an argument to keep or lose GMOs. It’s just a simple question: what happens if they go away?”

Sensible approach. The study concludes yields in several crops would decline significantly, and greenhouse gas emissions would increase.

Debate.org, which bills itself as a “free online community where intelligent minds from around the world come to debate online” has a reasonably good blog on GMOs. It’s a freewheeling site — but free of personal attacks — and some of the arguments against GMOs aren’t exactly scientific. For example, one blogger claimed “within that year of stopping GMOs I haven’t been sick.” Eliminating consumption of all GMOs is a tall order, given the ingredients in manufactured foods these days.

Still, it’s a debate that must happen, so consumers and lawmakers can better understand the issue, even if it sometimes gets ridiculous. brian.macleod@producer.com

In September 2007 Premier Brad Wall stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;crowns are not going to be privatized and (subsidiaries) are not going to be wound down.â&#x20AC;?

In May 2008, SaskTel contracted out some installation service to jump.ca. In March 2008, the province announced its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saskatchewan Firstâ&#x20AC;? policy for crowns. This means crowns canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in any outof-province business. In March 2009, email and conference services were outsourced.

In October 2009, Navigata internet services was sold. In November 2010, Directwest subsidiary sold AgDealer. In December 2010 the Saskatoon Square building was sold.

In January 2011, the Hospitality Network Canada assets were sold.

Wall attempts to make people think he cares about SaskTelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival and how he would never privatize it without their approval. He claims they are doing an assessment to see what the future looks like and how best to protect SaskTel from a competitor taking it over.

When you cut off the arms and legs of a corporation, how difficult will it be to word a plebiscite that will stress how weak it is and infer that it should be sold before it loses more value.

If it is sold, who will facilitate service to the small and decreasing populations of the north and rural areas of this province? Private business needs potential profit to invest.

I hope people will rise to the occasion and stop the bleeding of revenue we so badly need.

BUDGET ISSUE

Auditor casts doubt on Sask. farm fuel tax exemption

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm fuel tax exemption could be on the chopping block as the government undertakes what it calls transformational change.

Finance Minister Kevin Doherty said during the June 1 budget that everything will be on the table as the government examines all the programs and services it provides, including big-ticket spending on health and education.

Last week, provincial auditor Judy Ferguson released a report that said the farm fuel tax exemption has existed in its current form for nearly 30 years but the government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it is working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask the tough question: have we defined why we need this program?â&#x20AC;? she told reporters.

P r o g r a m s h av e e x i s t e d f o r decades in several provinces to exempt farmers, as well as commercial loggers, fishers and trappers, from paying fuel tax.

University of Saskatchewan agricultural economist Richard Gray said the idea was that tractors and combines, for example, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regularly use roads and most of their fuel consumption is on fields. Fuel taxes were originally meant to be used for roads.

The program has changed over the years but currently exempts permitted primary producers from paying the full 15 cents per litre provincial tax on gasoline bought in bulk. Instead, farmers pay three cents, or 20 percent.

Marked diesel and propane are entirely exempt for use in primary production.

Eligible permit holders are farmers who own or rent at least 75 acres to grow crops or who earned gross yearly revenue of at least $10,000 from farm products.

The program will cost an estimated $120.1 million this year.

There is also a home heating fuel exemption that is designed to create parity with natural gas. It is worth about $28.7 million.

Ferguson said the government clearly knows why the latter exemption exists and needs the same information on farm fuel.

Overall, tax exemptions cost the treasury $3.9 billion each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand where the auditor is coming from, and as I indicated during the budget deliberations and on budget day â&#x20AC;Ś weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at everything on the expenditure side,â&#x20AC;? Doherty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at everything on the revenue side.â&#x20AC;?

Other exemptions specifically for farmers include provincial sales tax on some farm machinery and repair parts, which will cost the treasury about $83.8 million this year, and the PST exemption on fertilizer, pesticide and seed purchases valued at $163.4 million.

Gray said the PST exemptions are more legitimate than the fuel tax because farmers are running businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where the gasoline is being used is people driving around in bigger and bigger trucks,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting most machinery is diesel.

As well, he said the requirements to obtain the exemption are minimal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re consistent with getting rural votes more than anything,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said changing the requirements could leave out new entrants in industries such as fruit and vegetable production or greenhouse growers.

He said the program could be tweaked rather than eliminated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make it the program itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to be,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running right.â&#x20AC;?

Hall couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say why the number of litres exempted is climbing, and costing the province more, except that anecdotal evidence suggests fuel use compared to horsepower is high.

SALES UNDER FUEL TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAM RISING

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make it the program itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to be. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running right.

The amount of fuel claimed under Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax exemption program has climbed, costing the provincial treasury about $156 million in 2015 compared to $133 million in 2011. The farm portion of the program accounts for about $121 million of the 2015 total. Diesel and propane used for farming activity are tax exempt, while gasoline for on-farm use is allowed an 80 percent exemption. Heating fuel is also exempt, as is some fuel used by commercial fishers, trappers and loggers. The province is reviewing all tax exemptions as part of a government-wide process.

NORTHERN NATURAL PROCESSING

Sask. meat processor faces lawsuit over tainted meat allegations

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Northern Natural Processing, a meat processing plant in Neudorf, Sask., is being sued because it allegedly sold tainted beef in 2014.

Premium Brands, a food manufacturing and distribution company based in Richmond, B.C., filed the lawsuit with the Court of Queen’s Bench in Regina last week, according to the Regina Leader-Post.

Premium Brands is suing for more than $725,000 over financial damages related to what it says is loss of sales, customer refunds and disposal costs.

In late June of 2014, the Canadia n Fo o d In s p e c t i o n A g e n c y recalled Northern Natural beef products because they contained “unsuitable primary ingredients.”

The CFIA had detected bovine lymphosarcoma, a common cancer of cattle, in a small amount of Northern Natural Beef.

Harvest Foods, a maker of sausages, burgers, ham and processed meats in Yorkton, Sask., had purchased beef from Northern Natural. It issued a recall of its bologna, wieners, garlic sausage and other products because of the problems at Northern Natural.

Premium Brands owns Harvest Foods and numerous other companies, including Freybe deli products and Grimm’s Fine Foods.

In July of 2014 the CFIA suspended Northern Natural’s operating licence because the company hadn’t corrected its practices, as required by the agency.

“The (agency) has determined adequate controls for food safety were not being reliably imple-

mented in the facility on a consistent basis,” the CFIA said it a statement.

In an email to The Western Producer in 2014, the CFIA said it susp e n d e d No r t h e r n Na t u ra l’s licence over other issues, going back to May of 2014.

“It failed to implement corrective measures related to two Corrective Action Requests issued in late May and early June,” The Western Producer reported July 24, 2014. “Specifically, the plant was not meeting the requirements of its HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) plan and had problems with pest control.”

The CFIA reinstated Northern Natural’s licence Aug. 7, 2014.

Northern Natural is located in the former Natural Valley plant at Neudorf. robert.arnason@producer.com

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s short-line railways are forming a united front against what they consider unnecessary and potentially costly grain handling regulations proposed by the Canadian Grain Commission.

Members of the Saskatchewan Shortline Railways Association who attended a June 9 meeting in Saskatoon expressed unanimous opposition to a commission proposal aimed at licensing producer car loading sites in Western Canada.

They say the grain commission’s proposal will add cost and complexity to producer car loading operations while delivering no clear benefits to producers, shortline railway operators or the Canadian grain industry as a whole.

The association has formed a committee aimed at co-ordinating member efforts and mounting a unified opposition to the grain commission plan.

“I think everyone was a little bit blindsided by it (the CGC proposal) and they don’t understand where it’s coming from,” said Matt Enright, general manager of the Battle River Railway in Alberta, who was named to the SSRA committee.

“The problems that the CGC is outlining in its proposal, we don’t really think they exist as problems in the industry.”

The grain commission says the licensing plan is aimed at enhancing its oversight role at producer car loading facilities.

It said operational changes at producer car loading facilities over the past decade or more have prompted a review of its licencing

exemptions, which currently apply to producer car loaders.

The plan addresses a number of issues: • the commission is unable to capture data from loading facilities, causing a gap in statistical reports on grain movement.

• the commission feels producers who load grain at these loading facilities receive inconsistent treatment with respect to dispute resolution, compared to producers who deliver to licensed grain elevators.

• the commission says producers who load grain at these facilities often do not have access to documents that accurately record grain deliveries, largely because many loading sites do not have certified weigh scales.

SSRA members who attended the Saskatoon meeting say the grain commission’s concerns are either unfounded or could be addressed in ways that do not add cost and complexity to the system.

For example, a proposal that modern loading sites should have certified weigh scales on the premises would add unnecessary costs to the system, with no clear benefit.

“The benefits of installing scales are quite dubious, because everything is settled off of the unload weights anyways,” Enright said.

With respect to data collection, there are simpler ways to get the information that the CGC wants, he added. It is already involved in allocating producer cars and it knows how much grain is typically loaded into a car.

“It just seems like there would be much simpler ways of getting those numbers that imposing costly regulations on producer car loaders,” Enright said.

Much of the producer cars are loaded by producers themselves with no facility employees present.

As a result, there would be no guarantee that samples taken accurately represent grain that’s delivered.

“It just comes across that the CGC maybe doesn’t really understand what happens at a lot of these producer car facilities,” he said. brian.cross@producer.com

International 4-H meeting planned for ’17 Global 4-H Network expects 500 delegates

and a strong emphasis on community service, is well placed to empower youth.

“103 years later, there’s still a great need for what we do,” she said.

Benner said that means giving young people a meaningful role on the board, citing YAC’s active participation in the change to the new 4-H cloverleaf logo and in directing strategic initiatives.

“We really are hearing what they are saying and they really are influencing our decisions,” she said.

“It’s not giving them a token role that doesn’t have impact. They really feel they are contributing and steering the movement.”

YAC does not having voting rights on the board.

Federal legislation doesn’t allow 4-H to appoint youth members, so it invites them onto the board as observers to ensure they are represented, Benner said.

C ALGARY — More than 500 international youth delegates will gather in Ottawa in July, 2017, at the Global 4-H Network Summit to learn more about each other’s programs.

Jennifer Christie, summit chair, said the meetings will focus on 4-H Canada’s priorities of leadership and resource development and programming.

“The goal is to raise awareness of 4-H within Canada and the agricultural community and showcase what’s happening in 4-H and strengthen relationships with the global 4-H community,” said the 4-H alumni and former 4-H Canada board member.

“It will be a launching point for a lot of things to come for 4-H.” She hopes the summit will help the organization grow around the world while providing opportunities for youth to become more engaged.

“Young people today want to be a part of something bigger,” she said, citing programs such as 4-H Canada’s Going Global, which will take 4-H members to Ghana this year to increase their awareness of sustainable agriculture and food security issues.

The summit will allow delegates to share resources and best practices.

“It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day and we’re so lucky to be here and learn from others around the world,” said Christie.

The event, which is being held in Canada’s 150th year, will also include a celebration of Canadian culture and social activities such as a barn dance.

Christie said educational institutions and non-profit organizations will also be on hand to talk about jobs, training and other opportunities for young people.

The Global 4-H Network is in its infancy with 4-H Canada’s Shannon Benner serving as its inaugural chair.

She is working on creating websites where members can exchange information and share resources.

“It will better our program and better theirs,” she said.

“It’s an opportunity to connect, collaborate on best-in-class and best practices and create platforms to have that conversation.”

The Global Summit is slated for July 11-14, 2017, preceded by 4-H Canada’s annual meeting July 10.

Youth want their voice heard 4-H Canada’s Youth Advisory Committee influences direction of 103-year-old group

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CALGARY — Young Canadians are not yet ready to be society’s power brokers, but they want to have their voices heard by decisionmakers, say teen 4-H members.

Andrea Soesbergen, a university student in Montreal, and Casey Morey of Rochester, Alta., say 4-H Canada gives them that chance as Youth Advisor y Committee members sitting on the national rural youth group’s board.

“It’s a ‘we’ and not an ‘I’ for this generation,” Soesbergen said.

“The goal in the end is not to be the person at the top of the food chain making these decisions, but I want to be a part of a movement that creates the change.”

She described her role on YAC as show ing other youth the opportunities they can create for themselves and where they can have an impact.

“Just to help them make the

change they are capable of,” she said.

Morey said YAC’s influence has already been seen on board committees and in staffing 4-H programs such as the recent citizenship congress in Ottawa. There, teen delegates had a 30 minute question and answer session with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “ We g i v e a y o u t h o p i n i o n about the different activities,” said Morey, who uses blogging and social media and personal contact to share information a n d re c e i v e f e e d b a c k f ro m members.

Soesbergen said youth have grown up with technology, can easily connect with others around the world and are watching and weighing in on global concerns.

“There should be a push to engage youth, that they are part of this conversation and we want to hear your opinion,” she said.

The pair said the 4-H board is

clear about wanting their input.

“They take our opinion seriously because we have that youth perspective,” said Morey.

Soesbergen said the goal of 4-H is to provide engaging and fun programs for young people.

“So if youth are saying this is not going well, then if that’s not taken seriously, it kind of goes against the whole purpose of the organization,” she said.

Shannon Benner, 4-H Canada’s chief executive officer, cited several recent studies showing that young people see themselves as part of a social movement.

“What’s coming through loud and clear is Generation Z wants to be influencing. They’re a generation of social change,” she said.

“As a youth movement, we have to be role modelling that, that we are engaging young people with an authentic voice at every level.”

Death feels closer in small town Saskatchewan The following is an excerpt from The Surprising Lives of Small Town Doctors, edited by Dr. Paul Dhillon and published by the University of Regina Press. Dhillon contributed this chapter from Saskatchewan.

D

ying here, far from any building over two storeys, is very different than dying in the city.

Death is closer here, more intimate. The drive to work along a lonely grey road is not only marked by a yellow meridian but also by the red of road kill. I don’t remember seeing any road kill in Regina’s city centre when I was training.

In Regina, we had an incredible palliative care team to refer to, people to call when we knew that any medicine we had was not going to heal anymore. Out here, they were going to have to call me.

My first real job. Thirteen years since high school — in training, in hospitals, in books. All of a sudden at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning I would suddenly become Dr. Dhillon. Time to heal and fix.

I began my first real posting as a rural physician in a small town in rural Saskatchewan. A beautiful little hospital, staff happy to see a young doctor in town, and the welcoming red and green of the local Co-op sign.

The day began innocuously enough: morning rounds at the hospital, learning about all the patients who had been handed over to my care for the next two weeks; trying to decipher other physicians’ illegible writing and promising to never let mine get that bad, and failing quickly at that.

“Hello, good morning. My name is Dr. Dhillon and I’ll be keeping an eye on you for the next little while until your doctor is back.”

With a vague idea of what was actually happening inside each patient’s body, and not a clue what was happening in their minds, I popped in from room to room as cheerful as I could be while making a list of things to check and recheck after the morning ward round was done.

Thankfully, the nurses were there to handle any miscues and give me a vital, two-to-three-sentence summary of the patient and any

When I got to the last patient I was to see that morning, I found his door was closed. It was at the back corner of the hospital.

It was darker.

“This is Gary, he’s dying.”

The nurse’s tone of voice lowered, naturally, to the level we use when discussing death, just in case death was nearby and would hear and come hither to hasten the process.

“Metastatic, it was too late when he came in. Really sad story. He’s still so young.”

Thinking back, I don’t know exactly how I felt when I reached for the institutionally grey doorknob. I probably felt pretty grey.

They don’t really tell you how you’re supposed to talk to someone for the first time when all you know about them is their first name and roughly where the first cell went berserk and started its new life as a cancer that would take their life away.

“Hello Gary, how are you this morning?” is what I said.

“Hello, who are you?” he asked.

Within that three seconds, I had seen his distended abdomen (ascities — check), nasal cannula (difficulty breathing, pressure from the abdominal fluid?), yellow skin (bilirubin overload), yellow sclera (… it’s bad), and dark, dark, almostorange urine (this is really bad, he’s a great case for a medical student to see).

All that I had been trained to think and see, diagnose and cure wasn’t going to help me now.

“My name is Paul and I’ll be your doctor until your normal doctor comes back.”

What was I going to doctor in his case?

“I’m leaving on Tuesday. Next week. To be closer to home,” he said.

“That’s great. So that’s something to look forward to then.”

Inside, I wondered, was that even appropriate to say?

The nursing staff didn’t have any new concerns, and he was eating and pain-free on his current medications, so we ended our morning chat and I went off to the clinic to finish off the rest of the day.

I couldn’t stop thinking about him, though. Was there anything I could do to make him better? More comfortable? Was there anything I was missing?

As a new doctor, and still scared of missing something or making some mistake, I would do rounds twice a day. The nurses and staff probably thought it was very conscientious of me, but it was more out of fear of missing something that I shouldn’t have.

Over the next week, our talks extended.

I was able to meet his family, his children. From conversations overheard while walking in the hallways, from nursing staff handovers, a picture of a life emerged. Not just a yellowed man dying in a wheelchair who couldn’t breathe; a picture of a man who was battling against something completely foreign to him.

A man that had his life enter the twists and turns that occur in all our lives, but in his case, the road stopped much too early.

It was a week later, on a quiet Monday morning, that I noted his

birthday was the following day.

His last birthday ever.

We physicians are notoriously bad at predicting death. But I knew in this case.

Through our conversations, I had the sense that he would appreciate a birthday cake. He was a farmer before fighting the unseen cancer cells that had become his full-time occupation. It could be that he had not had a proper birthday cake in years. He would have been too busy harvesting to take time for something like that.

He had time now. But not that much time.

I went quickly to the local Co-op after work. I needed a birthday cake, stat. How do you explain that you need a cake redecorated tonight, in the last hours the store is open, for someone who is going to die but has a birthday tomorrow, without sounding like a complete weirdo?

Also, don’t forget that you want to decorate the cake with small plastic farm animals to remind him of home and work and the happy times in his life.

It can’t be that hard to find that sort of thing in small-town Saskatchewan at 6 p.m. on a Monday evening? Right?

Somehow, it all worked out.

On the rainy morning of his birthday, I was able to collect a number of the nurses, light some candles, and walk into his room to see a look first of confusion, then surprise on his face, and then a smile that for a moment wiped the disease from the room and replaced it with pure happiness.

I left before having a chance to try the cake with him and his family, but I stuck my head in the door that afternoon. I knew, he knew, that he was leaving.

“Thanks, Doc, that was the best cake I have ever had. It was amazing.”

He’ll never know how those words made me feel. There was nothing years of training could have taught me to have made that situation any better for him medically. But I would like to think I made him a little happier.

His friend told me afterward in the hallway that he was happy all day.

Then he was gone.

4-H MANITOBA

New programs, events increase membership in Manitoba

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CALGARY — Retooling, resurrecting and ramping up new projects are behind improvements in 4-H membership in Manitoba, said Clayton Robins, 4-H Manitoba’s executive director.

The organization grew to 2,319 from 2,196 over the last year.

“Retention is contributing to that number as much as growth,” he said, crediting innovative approaches and keen leaders embracing new projects.

Expanding the eligible age range to six to 25 also added members.

The group is currently seeking increased aboriginal members by working with five friendship cen-

tres in the province.

“It’s a promising opportunity to do more together than we could do separately,” Robins said.

“The biggest benefit is these young children that will get a sense of belonging to a club, structured programming, skills development

and leadership development.”

He hopes to continue expanding by incorporating programs learned from other 4-H programs in Canada during the 4-H Canada annual conference in Calgary June 2-4.

They include e-learning on the provincial website, beef symposiums and science days at universities and building on the universitybased 4-H clubs to keep members involved longer.

It could also include exploring innovations from members’ own farm operations, said Robins.

“We always come out of this with great ideas,” he said.

“The challenge is to make it happen and find the money to make it happen.”

New programming in Manitoba includes a weather tracking project, in which 30 members collect data year round through a partnership with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network.

Members are given tools to track weather while learning about severe weather and its impact and how such volunteer contributions can benefit agriculture and society.

Robins said Science in the Kitchen is an example of where 4-H has built more science into projects.

Members learn the interaction between ingredients while experimenting with food.

Provincial initiatives included 50 4-Hers participating in a 4-H intermediate camp in April.

For senior 4-Hers, an Oct. 21-23 event will allow them to complete a project in one weekend in Brandon.

Members will learn about their topics through hands-on experience and will be taught by professionals with a special focus on the environment and healthy living.

The 4-H Fun Fest, open to all Manitoba 4-H members, will be hosted for the first time at the Red River Exhibition in Winnipeg June 24-26.

It features horse, cattle and sheep shows, a 4-H Food Challenge, a fashion show, judging clinic, the Road Block Relay Race and team tug-of-war. karen.morrison@producer.com

his Father’s Day, give Dad the gift of cooking by making a meal together to please the entire family. Your thoughtfulness and planning will be appreciated.

Preparation: Prepare the pork shoulder. Add potatoes to the oven while roast is cooking. Make the coleslaw and banana pudding the day before and refrigerate.

PULLED PORK WITH BARBECUE SAUCE Pork tenderloin is often on sale and people use it rather than the shoulder cut. Use the shoulder or butt for best texture and flavour.

Roast the pork first then make the barbecue sauce. Add shredded pork to the sauce and toss until meat is coated.

PORK BUTT ROAST Rub the pork roast with cumin and salt and put fat side down in a roasting pan. Cover with tin foil and crimp edges so steam will be sealed inside. Roast at 400 F for four hours, turning the roast each hour. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes and remove the roast to a cutting board. Prepare barbecue sauce in roasting pan.

BARBECUE SAUCE 1 can crushed tomatoes 1/2 onion, coarsely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced honey to taste 1 -2 canned chipotles with adobo sauce, finely minced 2 tbsp. fancy molasses 30 mL Use the roasting pan from the pork butt and spoon out all fat, except a couple of tablespoons (30 mL) to saute the onions. Saute onions and garlic until soft. Add the rest of the

4 medium-sized potatoes canola oil cheddar, shredded bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled green onions or chives, chopped sour cream Wash and dry the potatoes. Rub them with a little canola oil. Place on a baking sheet in a preheated 350 F (180 C) oven.

Bake for about 45 minutes. Remove and let cool.

Cut in quarters lengthwise. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, scrape out most of the potato leaving a little on the skin. Leave more around the edges so it holds its shape.

Brush them with oil on both sides and put them back on the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes or until the edges are crispy. You can turn them over once.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle each with a tablespoon of grated cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

Return to the oven until cheese melts.

When done, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve with sour cream.

BLURRED VISION

Seeing double from both eyes can indicate serious problem HEALTH CLINIC

I had mild cataracts. I am healthy otherwise.

A: CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I have noticed that I seem to be seeing double if I watch TV or try to read a book. My distance vision is a bit blurry. Is this serious? What causes this and what can be done to help? I got new glasses about a year ago, and nothing was said about double vision.

The eye doctor did mention that

Double vision means that you simultaneously see two separate images of the same object.

Sometimes it is little more than a faint ghost image, which is easily confused with blurred vision.

Double vision can be horizontal, where the images appear side by side or vertical, when the images appear one above the other or diagonal and where the images are both vertically and horizontally displaced from one another.

As you have difficulty seeing objects at a distance, this can affect your spatial awareness or depth perception and therefore could

affect your ability to drive.

Seeing double (diplopia) can be in one eye only or in both eyes (binocular diplopia). Put your hand over one eye and see if you still see double. Repeat for the other eye.

Most causes of monocular diplopia are a result of poor focusing of light by the eye.

Convergence insufficiency, or the inability to align the eyes when focusing on a near object, is a common benign cause of intermittent binocular diplopia that can often be treated with glasses with prisms, so corrective lenses should fix the problem.

Dry eyes also can be to blame and this is common in older people or those who take certain medica-

tions. If you have cataracts, you may need surgery.

If both eyes are affected, it is more likely to be serious and is considered an emergency if there is a sudden onset and accompanied by a headache.

This can signal a stroke, a transient ischemic attack or a brain aneurysm. A head injury can also cause these symptoms.

Chronic diseases such as an overactive thyroid gland, diabetes or multiple sclerosis can also lead to damage to the nerves that control the movement of the eyes, so that they no longer work in a synchronized manner.

A brain tumour or a cancer affecting the back of the eye can interfere

with eye movement or cause damage to the muscles or nerves controlling eye movement.

A relatively rare disease known as myasthenia gravis can cause all of the body’s muscles to become weak, but is often first noticed in the muscles of the eye. Droopy eyelids that interfere with vision are among early symptoms. It can be controlled with medications.

I suggest that you first return to your optometrist to rule out simple, correctable vision problems. Then you should see your family doctor to check for more serious problems.

ON THE FARM

Holstein breeders pleased with award Holstein Canada classifiers rated 25 of the 130 cows as excellent and 95 as very good to win the genomics class

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH

ON THE FARM

CALGARY BUREAU

VERNON, B.C. — The Hamming family was not an early adopter of genetic testing in its dairy herd.

However, this year they were the winners of the first ever genomics class at the recent national Holstein show in Calgary.

“We don’t really breed for that,” Jill said at the family operation near Vernon.

The greater focus has been on breeding for type, added Brian, who is president of the B.C. Holstein Association.

“We always say if they look good, they are going to milk,” he said.

So far, their selection program for high quality cows is working.

Brian, who works with his parents, Wally and Peggy, and brother, David, said it was flattering when their program was recognized.

“It was interesting because people said they were going to start watching what we use,” he said.

Holstein classifiers who recently visited the farm classified 25 of the 130 cows as excellent and 95 as very good. Qualified classifiers rank each individual based on cow quality and the requirements are raised almost every year.

Brian is a third generation dairy producer, and the family has always raised purebred Holsteins.

They were originally from Langley on the Lower Mainland, but high priced land in the densely populated region prompted the family to move to British Columbia’s northern Okanagan Valley 13 years ago.

“We left with 90 acres and we bought 330,” he said.

Located beside the historic O’Keefe Ranch, the farm was a rundown feedlot that needed to be cleaned up. As well, new barns had to be built to suit the family’s needs.

“From what this farm was 15 years ago, we get nothing but compliments,” he said.

A double 10 herringbone type milking parlour was installed. The Hammings are not interested in g o i n g w i t h a ro b o t i c s y s t e m because they like to check the cows when they come in for milking.

“I don’t want to go to a computer and read a report,” Brian said.

There is no hired help, so everyone takes turns handling the twicea-day milking. Farm chores are

THE HAMMING FAMILY Vernon, B.C. divided equally among family members.

Conditions are different in the north Okanagan than what the Hammings were used to on the Lower Mainland.

Summer daytime temperatures can reach 40 C on the hottest days, and 36 C is normal. Hot nights are common.

New fans are being installed this year to circulate air in the barns, and sprinklers can be turned on in the outdoor corrals to cool off the cows.

Rubber mats line the floor for foot care, and the cow stalls are filled with sand. There is plenty of sand on the farm so it seemed like the more economical choice.

Mastitis problems were reduced

when the cows rested on sand compared to sawdust or other bedding.

The extra acres at Vernon has allowed the Hammings to grow all their own corn and alfalfa silage.

The cows once ate a tonne of barley a day, but that has been eliminated with cheaper, home-grown feed.

It is a hot, arid area, so the sandy soil is irrigated. However, the farm is productive even in drought like last year.

“It was our best growing year. If you were dry land, you really suffered. Our corn was the best it has ever been and we actually got five cuts of alfalfa last year,” he said.

“At the coast you can’t turn it off sometimes and here you have to

turn it on.”

The family is active in all things agriculture.

David handles cattle shows and they enter five or six events a year in B.C. and the Westerner Dairy Classic in Red Deer. His children, Clayton, Carson and Cayden, are active in 4-H dairy clubs, and Brian is a leader and president of the regional district. His club has 22 members.

Showing can be expensive, but the family considers it a valuable promotion tool when other Holstein breeders are looking for new stock.

Fifty to 60 female replacements are sold locally, and bulls are sold to a Hutterite colony in Alberta as well as other farms.

A dairy is a busy place, but Brian found time to get involved in the breed association when an Okanagan representative was needed six years ago. He eventually became president and considers it a learning experience rather than a political job.

“I like travelling and seeing what other guys are doing and see if it would work here,” he said.

The industry has come under more scrutiny in recent years. The dairy code of practice is mandatory for B.C. producers, although he did

Holstein Canada classifiers will also inspect herds as part of the ProAction plan, which covers animal welfare, environmental care and food safety.

“If there are a few farms that are bad, then they should be shut

down,” Brian said.

The farm has been invited to host “breakfast on the farm” through B.C. Milk and other sponsors.

These events open a farm to members of the public, who get to meet the farmers and tour the operation. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

OVERWHELMED BY WORRY

Medication, breathing exercises can help with anxiety issues SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

My doctor recently gave me a prescription to help me deal better with my anxieties. She thinks that I am too “up-tight.”

I know that I worry a lot but I can-

not seem to help myself. I have tried to cut down on the time and energy I spend worrying, but so far not successfully. If you have some thoughts about anxiety, please pass them on.

A:

According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of Canada, one in four Canadians will have a significant anxiety episode at some time in their lives. Two million Canadians are probably feeling anxious as you read this.

Anxiety is future oriented. No one ever worried about something

that happened in the past.

For some, it is those agonizing few moments in the waiting room before being called into the dentist’s office. For others, it is the obsession with mortality, worrying so much about when they are going to die sometime in the future that they forget about living in the present.

Most anxiety dwells too much in between those two extremes. The trick is to live in the present.

Think about it. If you are worrying about an upcoming appointment with your banker and you are doing this while you are preparing your

machinery for this year’s seeding, you may not be paying as much attention to what you are doing as you could be. That is when accidents happen.

I have never seen studies correlating anxiety to farm safety, but my guess is that the link between worrying and getting hurt on the farm is stronger than it should be.

It might take some time, and perhaps the medication your doctor prescribed will help, but breathing can sometimes help break the obsession and relieve you from fretting. It can help you focus on

what is going on right now.

Just go through the cycle, counting to 10 while breathing in, holding your breath to the count of 10, exhaling while counting to 10 and holding that for another 10.

Nothing is guaranteed, of course, but the chances are reasonably g o o d t hat g o i n g t h ro u g h t h e breathing cycle a few times morning, noon and night will make you more aware of what is going on around you .

Expert tips for memorable vacation photos TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

W

ell-crafted photos can provide lasting memories from a summer vacation.

Whether you’re embarking on a grand tour to far-flung lands or spending a week at the lake, keeping a few simple techniques in mind can make a big difference to the quality of your photos.

There’s a saying that painting is the art of addition, while photography is the art of subtraction.

A painter starts with a blank canvas and decides what to add. If the scene has an unattractive dead branch in front or garbage on the beach, the painter can exclude those elements.

As photographers, we see all of that through the viewfinder and have to figure out how to eliminate or minimize what we don’t want in the frame.

Something as simple as trying a different angle by moving to one side or the other or getting closer to your subject can often make a huge difference.

Look at photographs that win competitions and you will see that most are free of distractions.

Distracting backgrounds are tough to work around.

When taking photos of friends or family, watch to see that you haven’t positioned them so that a tree appears to be growing out of their heads. (On the other hand, it’s fun to purposely do that when you’re in a mischievous mood.)

Light quality is key.

Bright sunshine gives your photos snap, colour and depth, but it’s a double-edged sword.

Nothing beats the warm, magical sunlight of early morning and evening, but midday sunlight is harsh and unflattering. This is the worst light for people shots, especially close-ups.

It becomes doubly difficult when people wear hats because half their faces tend to disappear into dark shadow.

The most flattering light for people pictures is an overcast sky when shadows and highlights are even and softer, but these are perfect conditions for capturing the details of any subject.

A wildflower meadow may look great in full sun, but if you want to get close and show detail, cloudy conditions make it easier to see subtle colour differences.

This is also the best time to photograph in the forest because the light is diffused.

Overcast skies tend to look white and nondescript, so minimizing the sky or cropping it out usually improves the photo. However, the sky can add drama to your images when clouds are distinct or storms are brewing.

Photos generally look better when you avoid placing the horizon in the centre.

If your main subject is in the fore-

This is an example of breaking the rules. While it’s usually best to avoid putting the horizon across the centre of a photo, this image of Mountain Lake in northern Saskatchewan works because of the strong reflection in the calm water.

Photographers wait at sunrise in Death Valley National Park. To get the best light, be prepared to get up early.

While the sky is overcast and foggy, the even light helps bring out details on these wildflowers in Riding Mountain National Park.

ground and the sky looks blah, then the horizon line should be quite high.

Photography’s rule of thirds suggests that you shouldn’t place your main subject dead centre but rather about a third of the way from the edge of the frame.

When people or animals are off to one side, it’s best if they are looking or moving toward the centre of the frame rather than the outside. The purpose is to draw your eye into the photo.

Another way to do this is to use leading lines. A curved road running into the scene is a classic example.

Most important, and most fun, is trying different techniques and using rules only as general guidelines.

Sometimes great photos break the rules completely.

For example, a reflection on a calm lake may look best if the horizon is dead centre, cutting the image in half.

There is no right or wrong. The most successful photo is the one

PULSE PROCESSING SUCCESS

Lentil empire built on a handshake President of Arbel Group in Turkey linked up with Al-Katib of Saskatchewan to create pulse processing powerhouse

SEAN PRATT REPORTS FROM THE GLOBAL PULSE CONVENTION IN CESME, TURKEY, ABOUT WHAT IS DRIVING PULSE MARKETS

MERSIN, Turkey — It all started with a complaint about the quality of Canadian red lentils.

That complaint led to a partnership that would eventually result in the formation of the world’s largest pulse processing firm.

The complainant was Huseyin Arslan, president of the Arbel Group, a red lentil processor in Mersin, Turkey.

It was 1997, and Arbel was buying 70 percent of Canada’s red lentil production.

“The Canadian shippers were not cleaning the product properly,” Arslan recalls.

He sent a letter to the Canadian Grain Commission outlining his concerns but received no response. So he contacted the

Canadian embassy in Turkey.

Again there was no response, until a 24-year-old man from the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership showed up in Turkey on a trade mission.

The Canadian ambassador to Turkey asked Murad Al-Katib to hop on a plane to Mersin to see if he could sort out the problem with Canada’s largest red lentil customer.

The next day he was in a face-toface meeting with Huseyin and his older brother, Mahmut Arslan.

“I said, ‘I’m here from the government and I’m here to help,’ ” Al-Katib said.

That was the start of a relationship that would result in the formation of Saskcan Pulse Traders, which eventually became AGT Food and Ingredients, a Reginabased company that posted $1.7 billion in sales last year.

Al-Katib has always been the public face of AGT, but it was the Arslan family that provided the initial capital and technological expertise for the venture. They just prefer to remain in the background.

“There is no need for another face for the company,” said Arslan.

He frequently visited Saskatchewan and formed a bond with AlKatib in the years that followed their initial meeting in Turkey.

During one of those trips, AlKatib asked Arslan to consider

investing in a processing plant in the province.

Arslan was already thinking along those lines. He noticed that Canadian plants didn’t know how to properly clean lentils.

“I was trying to understand if I could create a difference,” he said.

Arslan spoke to some of the biggest players in the grain industry, including Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, about partnering in a joint venture.

“They said this is too small and not an interesting venture for us,” he said.

Arslan then approached Al-Katib, who found 50 to 100 farmers who were interested in investing in the project.

However, Mahmut did not like the idea of working with so many partners.

“He said it would be very difficult to make a decision,” said Arslan.

So the brothers decided to build the inaugural red lentil splitting plant in Regina on their own and CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The deal was finalized with a handshake at the International Pulse Trade and Industries Confederation meeting in Vancouver in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never had a contract between Huseyin and I,â&#x20AC;? said Al-Katib. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I needed the million dollars of initial capital, he sent it to my HSBC account.â&#x20AC;?

Arslan nonchalantly shrugs when asked why he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t insist on a written and signed agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I am going to share a destiny with him, why do you make a contract? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unnecessary,â&#x20AC;? he said.

However, he did do his homework on Al-Katib, including meeting his parents.

Al-Katib quit his job at STEP and started working on a business plan in the basement of his home in Davidson, Sask. His wife, Michelle, was pregnant with twins.

At one point, Al-Katib asked Arslan for $15,000 to pay for incorporation fees, legal costs and other expenses. The next morning, there was $150,000 in his bank account.

Mahmut decided to pay Al-Katibâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary one year in advance because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Michelle worrying about finances during her pregnancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a contract after that,â&#x20AC;? said Al-Katib.

The flagship Regina red lentil splitting plant opened for business in 2002. Arslan knew immediately that it was the start of something big.

He told a Farm Credit Canada banker that in five years the Canadian operation would be larger than the decades old Turkish parent company, and that is exactly what happened.

AGT acquired the Arbel Group in 2009 and became a publicly traded company.

The Arslan brothers are the largest shareholders in the firm. They have a trust fund that owns 3,312,601 AGT shares, and Huseyin Arslan is executive chair of the company.

Al-Katib owns another 533,213 shares. He is the sole voter of his shares and the trust fund shares, which together represent 16 percent of outstanding common shares.

The Arbel facility is the crown jewel of the company. The first lentil splitting factory on the sprawling 175-acre facility located eight kilometres from the Port of Mersin was built in 1989.

The family had previously owned a factory in a different location closer to the harbour.

The facility is in a constant state of construction. Over the years, the brothers have added a bulgur wheat processing plant, a durum mill and

pasta manufacturing facility.

The combined sales of all facets of the Arbel Group is US$640 million, of which $375 million was derived from exports and $265 million from domestic sales.

The company bought 150,000 tonnes of lentils in 2015, 110,000 tonnes of which came from its Canadian operations.

However, its influence extends beyond its own operations. Arbel also partners with other major lentil processors in Mersin.

One of its partners is Goze Agricultural Products and Marketing Inc., the second largest buyer of Canadian lentils in Turkey.

Goze bought 50,000 tonnes of Canadian red lentils and another 10,000 tonnes of green lentils last year.

Turkey has rapidly become Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second biggest lentil customer next to India. It bought 419,528 tonnes of lentils worth $375 million in 2015.

Arbel and Goze combined for 40 percent of that business.

Bayram Fettahoglu, chief executive officer of Goze, said Turkish lentil production has plummeted in the last couple of decades.

A country that produced 630,000 tonnes of red lentils and 216,000 tonnes of greens in 1990 grew 340,000 tonnes of reds and 20,000 tonnes of greens last year.

Fettahoglu said Turkish farmers are not happy with lentil margins and have moved to higher value crops such as wheat, corn and soybeans. The thriving Canadian lentil industr y has also resulted in reduced Turkish production.

Turkish people eat 400,000 tonnes of lentils a year, which is close to what is produced by its farmers every year. Turkish consumers prefer the more intensely flavoured domestically produced red lentils.

So a lot of what is imported is reexported to other countries in the Middle East and other Mediterranean countries.

Grant Winton, manager of international relations and marketing with Alberta Agriculture, said Canadian exporters are not comfortable shipping product to places such as Iran and Iraq. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turkey, on the other hand, is comfortable dealing with these markets. They have been for centuries. For Canada, it would be a step too far to sell from rural Alberta to rural Iraq,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Winton said exporters feel at ease with Turkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people, its customs and its banking sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can build a relationship with an individual and you know you will get paid when you make a

sale,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Three-quarters of the lentils Goze imports are processed and reexported to countries such as Iraq, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Fettahoglu said buyers know that lentils originated in Turkey. Farmers have been growing them there since 7,000 BC, and they appreciate the processing knowledge that has been passed down through the years.

Al-Katib said it was that processing know-how that made AGTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Regina red lentil splitting plant such a success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Huseyinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) first memory of his life is sleeping in a jute bag tied between two posts in the factory,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His mother would set him in the jute bag as a cradle, rock it with one

foot and sew the lentil bags.â&#x20AC;?

Huseyinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Hasan, spent countless hours in Regina designing and building the plant.

He installed equipment that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t common in Canadian processing plants at the time, such as a de-stoning machine and a Sortex optical colour sorting machine.

Al-Katib said AGT has benefited greatly from the Arslan familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge of the industry and its decades-long relationships with customers around the world.

He said Canadian farmers would not be producing and selling 2.4 million tonnes of lentils a year if the Arslan family hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invested in Saskatchewan.

Arslan said he has complete faith in Al-Katib, who is able to bridge

the gap between two different business cultures with his Turkish heritage and Canadian upbringing. He has become an honorary brother to the Arslan family.

The colleagues claim they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had one fight in 15 years of working together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Murad always respects me as his elder brother,â&#x20AC;? said Arslan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with him on some certain point, I say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with you but I encourage you to do it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Al-Katib said any time he has heard those words he never forges ahead with the original idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a compromise thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better decision,â&#x20AC;? he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

75 YEARS AGO

Horse owners on watch for encephalomyelitis from south FROM THE ARCHIVES

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: JUNE 19, 1941 Henry Wise Wood, a pioneer organizer from Alberta, died at the age of 81. He was president of United Farmers of Alberta from 1916-31 and helped form the Alberta Wheat Pool, which he chaired from 192337.

He sat on the Wheat Control Board during the First World War and was a member of the first Canadian Wheat Board from 1919 to its dissolution in 1921.

He was said to have refused the premiership of Alberta when the UFA took power in the province.

A severe outbreak of encephalo-

Henry Wise Wood myelitis in horses in Texas had Saskatchewan on high alert as experts feared a quick spread northward. J.S. Fulton, head of the University of Saskatchewan’s veterinar y science department, urged the vaccination of valuable horses. The disease had killed 13,000 to 14,000 horses in the province in 1938.

50 YEARS AGO: JUNE 16, 1966 Just as a costly waterfront strike was ending at three St. Lawrence Seaway ports by members of the International Longshoremen’s Association, leaders of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers,

A small wagon train set out from Saskatoon for Battleford, Sask., in July 1983 on a six day trek. Thirty people and six wagons took part in the trek, which mainly followed the North Saskatchewan River. | FILE PHOTO which represented other Seaway workers, were talking strike.

China sold $14.4 million worth of goods to Canada in 1965, which was a 53 percent increase from the previous year. However, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the $105 million worth of goods that Canada sold to China. Walnuts, peanuts and other nuts were the main commodities sold to Canada, as well as a growing list of goods ranging from hairpins to non-military firearms.

25 YEARS AGO: JUNE 20, 1991 The federal government put a

stop to a lockout of Vancouver grain workers, sending employees back to work and resuming grain exports.

Canada won its biggest free trade victory when the United States lost its final appeal against an order to lift duties on Canadian hog imports.

10 YEARS AGO: JUNE 15, 2006 James Richardson International was considering suing the Canadian Grain Commission over events that occurred in 2002, when the commission refused to cross a picket line to inspect grain at the

Port of Vancouver or allow Richardson to unload uninspected grain.

The company unloaded the grain anyway, which prompted the commission to suspend its terminal operating licence for one day and order an extensive audit of its terminal assets. In May, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that the commission’s actions had been heavyhanded.

The Conservative government announced it would introduce legislation later in the month that would kill the long gun registration. bruce.dyck@producer.com

DAIRY CHANGES

New milk class created to reduce cheaper U.S. imports Class 6 milk is pegged at world prices to encourage Canadian processors to choose domestic ingredients

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Rather than plunging off a precipice, dairy farmers might find stepping out into the space created by Class 6 milk might actually provide more solid ground, says an agricultural economist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change prices that much,â&#x20AC;? Al Mussell of Agri Food Economic Systems said about the development of a worldpriced milk class within Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply management system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not falling off a cliff here.â&#x20AC;?

Ontario has already launched a class of skim milk that is priced at world prices. It is a response to an

inflow of diafiltered milk and dried skim milk components from the United States.

Laws protect the Canadian dairy industry from imports of fresh milk, butterfat and some other milk components, but diafiltered milk and milk protein isolates arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t covered by regulations.

Canadian ingredients are more expensive than the U.S. equivalents, which has prompted Canadian processors to buy imports to reduce production costs. This has led to a growing surplus of skim milk, which has occasionally had to be dumped.

At the same time, healthy demand for butterfat has led to butter short-

ages in Canada when domestic supplies have fallen short.

The basis of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy pricing regime values milk mostly for its fat, with non-fat components discounted. However, the overall â&#x20AC;&#x153;blendâ&#x20AC;? price falls and farmer profitability shrinks if the price of the components drops too much Ontario farmers supported the c re at i o n o f C l a s s 6 m i l k a s a response to the imports. It is priced at a world price so processors have no reason to avoid it.

As well, Mussell said milk in that category should be able to be exported if there is a surplus in Canada. This is difficult now and will become impossible for subsi-

dized milk products when trade deals such as the Canada-European Union agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership come fully into force.

Manitoba dairy farmers intend to introduce a similar world-priced category this summer, and there are Canada-wide discussions to create a national version.

Mussell said there will likely be some cost to making this change.

He thinks blend prices will probably drop $2 to $4 per hectolitre. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national average price was about $81.

However, doing nothing will create bigger problems with imported milk components, blend prices will

continue to fall and situations such as butter shortages and skim milk dumping will continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The butterfat market in Canada is growing at almost two million kilograms per year,â&#x20AC;? said researcher Douglas Hedley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for domestic milk production to supply this growth, it will create just under four million kilograms of skim, but finding a home for this skim will be increasingly difficult.â&#x20AC;?

Mussell said farmers will be challenged by weaker prices, but most should be able to adapt over time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like anything really dramatic.â&#x20AC;? ed.white@producer.com

HEALTH CANADA APPROVAL

Conditional pesticide registration nixed

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health minister has followed through on her promise to end conditional registrations of pesticides.

As of June 1, Health Canada and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency will no longer grant conditional registrations, in which the government approved the use of a pesticide but asked an agri-chemical company for additional information to support the registration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving forward, Canadians can be reassured that all pesticide registration decisions will be made with a consistent and high level of scientific and public scrutiny,â&#x20AC;? Jane Philpott said in a written statement.

Only one percent of all pesticides in Canada have conditional registrations, but the Health Canada practice became controversial because many neonicotinoids, a class of insecticides linked to bee deaths and colony losses, have conditional registrations.

This winter the federal commissioner for the environment and sustainable development criticized the PMRA because it maintained conditional registrations on several neonicotinoids for more than a decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found that the Pest Management Regulatory Agency allowed conditionally registered pesticides to be in use for lengthy periods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in many cases, for more than the fiveyear period it normally allowed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; without having received and assessed the required studies and data,â&#x20AC;? the commissioner said in a January report.

Around the same time, Philpott said Health Canada would no longer permit conditional registrations.

The Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA), a public interest group, praised the minister and Health Canada for the decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some cases the outstanding information, such as the bee studies, was incomplete for over a decade with no consequences for

non-compliance with the law,â&#x20AC;?

CELA said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While â&#x20AC;Ś (ending) conditional registrations only applies to new registrations, it is an important step towards making the pesticide registration process more accountable.â&#x20AC;?

The PMRA still has to deal with existing conditional registrations of pesticides. The agency said it expects all conditional registrations â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be resolved by 2017.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The) PMRA will ensure that any outstanding information is received and reviewed in a timely m a n n e râ&#x20AC;Ś . T h e i n f o r m a t i o n requested for many of the neonicotinoid conditional registrations has been received and is in the process of being reviewed.â&#x20AC;?

The agency added that pesticides are only approved following a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rigorous scientific evaluation,â&#x20AC;? but conditional registrations were granted when a scientific review found that risks of a pesticide were acceptable but additional information was needed. robert.arnason@producer.com

G3 CANADA LTD.

West Coast export terminal permit approved The grain handling facility in northern Vancouver is expected to cost upward of $500 million

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

G3 Canada Ltd. has cleared a major hurdle in its efforts to build a new grain export terminal in North Vancouver.

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority announced June 3 that it has issued a project permit for G3 Terminal Vancouver.

The proposed terminal is a joint

venture partnership between G3 Global Holdings and Western Stevedoring Company Ltd. The terminal will be built at LynnTerm West Gate and is expected to take three to four years to complete.

It will handle wheat, soybeans, canola, peas, corn and specialty byproducts, according to the terminal’s website at g3terminalvancouver.ca/project-details.

G3 said the facility is designed to optimize grain receiving, storage and shipping throughput operations on the West Coast.

Ter minal constr uction w ill include the demolition of existing facilities at LynnTerm, site improvements, construction of new buildings, overpasses and underpasses and modifications to the existing LynnTerm dock.

Other components include:

• a rail car receiving facility that can unload two rail cars simultaneously • a loop track configuration that allows for the storage or holding of up to three trains • a conveyor network that will move grain from the receiving facility to bulk scale and sampling systems, storage facilities or cleaning equipment before loading • a grain storage facility comprising 48 concrete storage silos with an overhead conveyor system • grain cleaning facilities, byproducts bins and a byproduct load out system The existing LynnTerm dock will

be partly demolished and replaced with a new berth structure.

When completed, the loading system will include three articulated booms that can load ships up to a post-Panamax size.

The port authority issued a permit following a thorough review, which included consultations with the community, municipalities, agencies, stakeholders and aboriginal groups.

The project was approved subject to 74 permit conditions, which can be viewed online at bit.ly/28g8cPR. The cost of the terminal has been pegged at $500 to $600 million. brian.cross@producer.com

The phones in Alberta farmhouses will be ringing later this month as a survey gets underway on behalf of Alberta crop commissions.

The Alberta Barley, Alberta Canola Producers, Alberta Pulse Growers and Alberta Wheat commissions want to learn more about their members’ sustainability and best management practices so they’ve commissioned a survey through Ipsos Reid.

Jolene Noble, extension co-ordinator for the commissions’ new Farm Sustainability Working Group, said the goal is to survey 400 farmers across the province about such things as water, fertilizer and manure management, soil health, and their knowledge about various provincial regulations and international standards, among other queries.

“The bulk of it will be on the environmental side just because there seem to be more questions around that,” said Noble.

Though the survey questions were still being finalized June 3, Noble said she expects it to take

about 25 minutes to complete.

“What we’re doing with this survey is identifying areas where there is a lack of awareness or knowledge and doing some extension in those areas, but also looking at where there’s opportunities for Albertans to further improve in the crop sector on sustainability.

“We already do know anecdotally how Alberta producers are doing a very good job so we’ll also be able to quantify that.”

Noble said survey results are expected to be known by the end of this summer, after which extension materials will be prepared to address any identified gaps in knowledge and practice.

The survey is key to a larger project, funded by the commissions and by Growing Forward 2, that will last until Jan. 1, 2018.

The goal is to keep the Alberta crop sector at the top of its game, said Noble, and improve how Alberta crops are marketed in the future.

“We really hope that growers will take the time out of their busy days (to answer the survey.) The results are going to be really important.” barb.glen@producer.com

PEST MANAGEMENT

Growers face pest of different stripe Crucifer flea beetles have been a major issue for canola growers, but the striped species is moving in, requiring a new plan of attack

Striped flea beetles are taking over some of the territories once dominated by the crucifer flea beetle and that means farmers may have to change their control methods.

Owen Olfert, a research scientist with Agriculture Canada and operator of the Prairie Pest Monitoring Network, said the species are different and must be treated as such. “… there’s been a shift in some of the areas from the crucifer flea beetle, which can be controlled with some of these neonicotinoids quite nicely in seed dressings (in) canola, whereas the striped flea beetle is a little more difficult to control using those same insecticide seed dressings,” he said.

A 2008 study released by the University of Alberta predicted the rise of the striped beetle.

And in some areas today, it has become the dominant species, said Keith Gabert, an agrology specialist for the Canola Council of Canada.

“Striped flea beetles seem to be coming more dominant or more predominant in the mix and lately we get reports that most of (the beetles being found) are striped.”

The study, called Differences in Phyllotreta cruciferae and Phyllotreta striolata Responses to Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments, recognized then that the industry was grouping flea beetles as a “homogeneous complex” rather than addressing each species with a different solution.

“With continued extensive use of these neonicotinoid compounds for flea beetle control in canola, population displacement of P. cruciferae (crucifer beetle) by P. striolata (striped beetle) also may occur,” stated the report.

The study concluded that striped beetles were less susceptible to the neonicotinoid treatments being used.

Neonicotinoids helps control crucifer flea beetles but the striped beetle is less susceptible, highlighting the need for new control methods. | FILE PHOTO It was the first research to directly compare the two species vulnerability to insecticides.

The study said there could be differences in how each species reacts to other insecticides as well.

Bob Elliott, a research scientist with Agriculture Canada’s ecological crop protection, recently released an abstract on research he carried out with colleagues: Evaluation of Seed Treatments for Control of Crucifer and Striped Flea Beetles in Canola.

“We started research five years ago at the request of the canola council when they were getting reports from producers about socalled seed treatment failures,” said Elliott.

He attributes the shift from crucifer beetle dominance to striped dominance to several causes, but neonicotinoid susceptibility is factor one.

“In the registration of these products dating back 2003 to 2005, all the work was done on crucifer flea beetles. There was a tacit assumption that if these products control crucifer beetles, they will control striped flea beetles and other species equally well,” said Elliott.

Without historical data, Elliott is hesitant to use the term neonicotinoid resistance when there could be differences in tolerance to the seed treatments.

Elliott’s research also highlights the cooler, wetter weather conditions of the past few years and earlier seeding dates as contributing factors that favour striped flea beetles over crucifer.

“Higher precipitation is an additional factor that has allowed striped beetles to expand their geographic range and create this so-called shift,” he said.

Striped flea beetles become active two to three weeks before crucifer beetles after overwintering.

“With that earlier activity, by planting early, we could be again shifting this very delicate balance potentially in favour of striped over crucifer,” he said.

The research outlines the risks of classifying the beetles together, and stresses the need for more experiments.

“We can state with some assurance that the neonics provide very good control of crucifer flea beetles, but relatively poor control of striped,” said Elliott.

He added newer chemistries are being developed that should give better control.

“We are now seeing seed mixtures registered. This is really a precedent. We’ve never had it before I don’t think for any other insect pest in Canada, so we’re getting now a combination in seed treatment mixture that contains a neonic for control of crucifer and newer chemistries for control of striped.”

Press the industry; that’s where demand comes from. Ask for more options from seed companies.

Diamide is a new type of insecticide more commonly recognized as cyantraniliprole, a Group 28, and it has a different chemistry than neonics.

The active ingredient can be found in DuPont’s Lumiderm and Syngenta’s Fortenza, where it is used for cutworms.

Syngenta has recently released a new seed treatment, Visivio, sulfoxaflor, a Group 4c insecticide with a neonicotinoid Group 4a.

Elliott advises farmers to choose the best seed treatment according the pests they are seeing. Farmers can scout and lay out sticky traps to assess which species are in their crop.

“Based on that information, a decision could be made to go with a neonic alone, diamide alone or a

mixture of the two,” he said.

There have been six new registrations with the Pest Management Regulatory Agency within the last two years and more expected.

T h e We s t e r n P r o d u c e r h a s requested assessments from the agency to determine which species were looked at when they were scientifically evaluating value and efficacy of current registered seed treatments. There was no further information as of press time.

Elliott said other options are not really there for the farmers, but they can get more involved.

Can camelina improve nature’s perfect food?

University of Saskatchewan dairy trials examine the impact of camelina meal rations on the quality of milk fat

BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SASKATOON — The dairy cows at the University of Saskatchewan are eating camelina in hopes of enhancing milk quality.

The Canadian Feed Research Centre is feeding the cow’s different percentages of meal and observing the effects.

“Recent papers have shown that camelina can have a positive impact on milk fat qualities, so this would be a good time to follow up on that and get some more information,” said Rex Newkirk, research lead for the centre at the university.

A study at the University of Bucharest found that feeding portions of camelina meal to dairy cows produced elevated amounts of omega-6 fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).

“We have to do a number of studies to show that the product is efficacious, that there’s no toxic effects, no harm done from feeding the material. Once (our) studies are complete, then it’s about putting together a package and providing that to CFIA,” said Newkirk.

Sean Thompson is a feed industry liaison. He works with the feeds innovation institute and the Canadian Feed Research Centre.

“To get it registered with CFIA you need to prove safety and efficacy,

so that’s where the trials come in where we model experiments in order to satisfy CFIA’s needs,” said Thompson.

The centre has two trials planned with the first underway. The cows are fed a formulated diet with a zero to 10 percent camelina mixture.

“You get all the various parameters around it and then what you do is after the month is up you switch the cows around... every group of cows is exposed to every level, so you’re not biasing the data,” said Newkirk.

REX NEWKIRK RESEARCHER

After the four-month trial, the large amount of data will be organized and the second trial will begin, but with higher levels. The cows will then be fed a zero to 20 percent mixture.

“Once we understand exactly how the cows will function, what kind of production we can expect,

the milk quality we like, from there our hope is that we can start producing this stuff in Canada,” said Newkirk.

Jack Grushcow is the chief executive officer of Smart Earth Seeds and president of Linnaeus Plant Sciences Inc. He said the company has been working to develop and market camelina for almost 15 years.

“Farmers like the idea of having alternative crops. Camelina’s advantage is it really shines in the lighter soils, the sandier soils, the drier soils in Saskatchewan,” said Grushcow.

Camelina has excellent yield potential over a short season of 85 to 100 days. It grows well in cool temperatures and is drought and frost tolerant.

A member of the Brassicaceae family, camelina shares characteristics to canola and mustard. It can grow up to 90 centimetres tall and requires less nitrogen and rainfall than canola. It’s also more resistant to insects and disease.

Grushcow is eager to see approval from CFIA so he can stop transporting his meal to the United States to be processed.

“We’re a Canadian, Saskatchewan based entrepreneurial company; I could have a market for the meal, a local market, then my farmers could truck locally. We could get it cleaned, crush it (and) sell the meal,” said Grushcow.

He said two things make cameli-

na attractive for farmers on the Prairies.

One is the total input cost. Camelina is cheaper on average than a canola crop and secondly it has a shorter growing season. With its high resistance to frost, it can be planted earlier and harvested later.

“Anytime we can provide local ingredients at a reasonable cost, it’s a benefit to the whole industry,” said Newkirk. “(Camelina) is just another opportunity for producers to be able to have another crop rotation, although we don’t expect (it) to replace canola, and for our livestock industry (to have) more opportunities for ingredients,” said Newkirk.

The benefits of camelina are far reaching, said Grushcow.

“We have a trade agreement now where trade barriers have dropped and if you take a look at places

where we compete traditionally with dairy products like New Zealand ... to have value added improved products, like a milk that makes an interesting butter or yogurt, that’s going to help distinguish ourselves,” he said.

CFIA approved a 12 percent meal mixture for broilers last year and approval for laying hens is still pending.

Research conducted by the Poultry Research Centre in Alberta found camelina-fed broiler hens had higher levels of Omega-3 in their breast and thigh meat.

Laying hens fed up to a maximum of the 12 percent camelina mixture had omega-3 content increase in their eggs.

Newkirk said the centre is likely to publish the results from the dairy trials late next year. tennessa.wild@producer.com

CROP DISEASE

Blackleg growing along with canola

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Southern Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s canola crop is off to a good start because of a wet spring.

However, the moist conditions have also prompted growers to load up their sprayers with fungicide for blackleg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everywhere, and we know that there is a level of pressure and a level of the disease that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to see in almost every field,â&#x20AC;? said Canola Council of Canada agronomy specialist Angela Brackenreed.

Wet spring weather enables the blackleg pathogen to become established. The disease can greatly reduce yields if the weather becomes hot and dry later in the season.

It is early in the year to see signs of blackleg, but on some fields itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already getting too late for producers to effectively treat their canola with fungicides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The earlier the better for a fungicide application for control of blackleg,â&#x20AC;? Brackenreed said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can get in by that one or two leaf stage, you can expect to see improved efficacy by that fungicide.â&#x20AC;?

Some producers tank mix fungicide with their first in-crop herbicide application to avoid an extra pass with their sprayer, which can push the treatment past the two to three leaf stage.

However, splitting the applications and having an extra sprayer pass can mean the application may not provide the return on investment to make the fungicide worthwhile.

Brackenreed said the canola council does not recommend every grower use a fungicide on every canola field.

Instead, producers need to know if they are in a high-risk situation for the pathogen before they decide to spray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things, similar to a

sclerotinia fungicide application â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you really have to be proactive with it: look at your rotational history, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the blackleg pressure in the past, what are environmental conditions like, et cetera,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Longer rotations are the main way producers can reduce blackleg pressure.

Brackenreed said the initial recommendation of a four-year rotation was made before blackleg resistance was bred into canola. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason for that is they felt that four years was enough time to let the pathogen break down on stubble and then population wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t high enough to pose a significant threat to the canola when you got to that fourth year,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Even canola varieties resistant to blackleg are vulnerable to the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A resistant variety does not mean immunity,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we see some pathogen shifting happening because of the amount of pressure we are putting on that resistance, we are seeing more and more of it (blackleg) in our resistant varieties.â&#x20AC;?

She said growers can help prolong blackleg resistance by lengthening their rotations using different companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blackleg-resistant varieties.

Brackenreed said resistance will break down if repeatedly tested by the same tools.

The canola council encourages producers to perform crop trials on their farms to see if the crop protection products they are using are worth the effort and cost. There is still time to run fungicide trials on some fields, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really encourage folks to do some trialling on their farm and see on their own farm what is the return from using products like this, and if they are efficacious on a field to field basis,â&#x20AC;? she said. robin.booker@producer.com

WEED OF THE WEEK: FIELD DOCK

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Field dockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single, sometimes forked, large taproot has allowed the weed to flourish since tillage was reduced in Western Canada.

It pokes out of the crop where the sprayer missed, and at first the green flowers and stalks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too noticeable. However, it later turns red and brown and sticks out like a sore thumb.

Formally known as Rumex pseudonatronatus, it is the more common of the three Rumex found in Western Canada. Curled dock tends to be a bigger problem in Eastern and Central Canada, while its twin, western dock, is less of a problem.

Many broadleaf herbicides will control the weed, but timing is critical.

Dock can also be controlled with vertical tillage or shallow tilling after harvest and in low areas that

escaped earlier spraying.

It can escape post-emergent control, especially when seeding gets an early start and soil remains cold, such as this year.

The large, curly leaves quickly shade the surrounding plants, which reduces crop yield, or at least costs the producer another pass with the sprayer.

The weed can be tough to tame if it escapes spring control.

Glyphosate and glufosinate are effective, so herbicide tolerant systems provide an option. Clearfield crops also work well.

Spot spraying glyphosate at 2.83 to 4.86 litres per acre of the 360 grams per litre product in 10 gallons per acre of water works if the weed reaches the bud stage.

Group 4 chemistries are effective.

Spot applications of dicamba (Banvel 2) can be used if the weed establishes in rangeland, as long as plenty of water is used to carry it.

Producers are advised to use .92 litres per acre of Banvel II in 10 to 20 gallons of water per acre on actively growing weeds for top growth control.

Picloram with 2,4-D (Grazon) and aminopyralid and 2,4-D (Restore 2) can also be used in pasture situations with the right plant populations.

An application of 500 grams per litre of MCPA amine or 2,4-D amine applied at .45 to .7 litres per acre will control top growth.

Dichlorprop and 2,4-D at .71 litres per acre suppresses the weed when plants are less than 50 millimetres tall.

Semi-mature plants are slow to react to systemic herbicides. Agronomists suggest waiting a couple of weeks to mow if sloughs are being controlled with herbicides to ensure that the weeds are killed. michael.raine@producer.com

IN BRIEF

EU states won’t back new glyphosate licence BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — European Union nations refused to back a limited extension of glyphosate’s use June 6, threatening withdrawal of Monsanto’s Roundup and other herbicides from shelves

if no decision is reached by the end of the month.

Contradictory findings on the carcinogenic risks of the chemical have thrust it into the centre of a dispute among EU and U.S. politicians, regulators and researchers.

Without a majority decision, the

EU executive may submit its proposal to an appeal committee of political representatives of the 28 member states within a month. If there is again no decision, the EC may adopt its own proposal.

The prospect of a European ban could complicate EU-U.S. trade talks.

Which one will you choose?

A species-at-risk recovery plan for southwestern Saskatchewan that was 10 years in the making is now available for public comment.

Environment Canada is accepting comments on the action plan for nine federally listed species at risk in the Milk River basin area known as South of the Divide.

These include the black-footed ferret, burrowing owl, eastern yellow-bellied racer, greater sage-grouse, prairie loggerhead shr ike, mor mon metalmark, mountain plover, Sprague’s pipit and swift fox.

Management considerations for four other species — black-tailed prairie dog, long-billed curlew, McCown’s longspur and northern leopard frog — are also included in the plan because they are of special concern.

Much of the 14,000 sq. kilometre region is native prairie ranched by private landowners and provincial and federal crown leaseholders.

Tom Harrison, executive director of the South of the Divide Conservation Action Program, said governments consulted stakeholders four years ago when a draft plan was completed, and they helped update it.

The contents of the recovery plan aren’t a surprise for ranchers and others involved with SODCAP, which is designed to protect habitat while ensuring economic

sustainability, but Harrison said others might have questions.

“For example, they identify about a million hectares of critical habitat, and so what does that mean for companies that want to develop down in that area or SaskTel that wants to run lines underground, or RMs that want to develop gravel pits on critical habitat,” he said.

“There’s going to be those sort of questions.”

SODCAP is most interested in habitat management and conservation and the communication and engagement of stakeholders.

Regulation and policy, also identified in the plan, must also be looked at, Harrison said.

“Hopefully, it’s adaptive and they’re flexible enough to change as time moves on,” he said.

The comment period is open until July 23. Officials will then review the comments, and the plan could be changed.

Har r ison said S OD C AP has already been working on 30 recovery measures identified in the draft plan and expects to “just keep on rolling.”

SODCAP and the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association have federal money to deliver programs aimed at habitat protection and continuous stewardship.

Legislation to update Saskatchewan’s decades-old Provincial Lands Act will be introduced this month.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said June 9 that stakeholder consultation was completed June 3 and the bill will come forward before the legislative sitting ends June 30.

The NDP raised concerns in the legislature that stakeholders hadn’t had enough time for input, but Stewart said they did. The province intended to go ahead with updated legislation in its last term and consulted then. However, the government agenda didn’t allow enough time for the bill to come forward.

“We refreshed those 2013 consultations, and any stakeholders that were interested had an opportunity to resubmit,” Stewart said in an interview.

“We’re satisfied that every stakeholder that was interested in having more input into the consultation process took that opportunity.”

He said the act was first drafted in

1930 and most recently updated in 1978. The language is not gender appropriate, he said, and contains outdated thinking.

“It contains provisions such as allowing the minister to jail people for offences under the act, and I don’t think that’s appropriate these days, either,” Stewart said.

The act governs crown cultivated and grazing land, as well as forest.

Stewart said the “archaic” act doesn’t allow government to move quickly when there are lease violations. The only remedy under the existing act is to go to court.

For example, the new bill would allow officials to stop the work if someone dug an illegal drainage ditch on crown land.

He also said the existing act treats land differently depending how the government obtained it. Old land bank acreage is treated differently than the provincial pasture system.

“These anomalies will be taken out of the new act, and land will be treated more similarly across the board, and people will be less confused about different rules around different types of land,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

TENT CATERPILLARS

Slimy critters’ destructive cycle nears end Chemical controls are not recommended because they would kill parasitic insects

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A feeding frenzy that has turned tree lines, windbreaks and woodlots across the West into leafless disaster zones will soon be over — at least for this year.

Greg Pohl, a forestry expert with Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Forestry Service in Edmonton, said tent caterpillar larvae will soon be finished feeding and will enter their pupal stage.

Pupation, which normally begins in mid- to late-June, is where mature caterpillars spin themselves in silk cocoons and emerge as moths, about eight to 12 days later.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a similar feeding frenzy won’t occur next year.

“We usually start to see adult moths in early- to mid-July, but they typically don’t fly all that far,” said Pohl, an insect and disease identification officer.

“They usually stay within a few hundred metres of where they grew up, so they’ll tend to be infesting the same again the next year, depending on environmental conditions.”

Infestations of tent caterpillars can last for five years or longer in any particular area, but most infestation are normally cut short by a cold snap in the spring.

Adult moths typically lay their eggs in July, about a week or two after they emerge from the cocoon.

The eggs will hatch the following spring and produce masses of tiny caterpillars just a few millimetres long.

The egg hatch normally occurs when the caterpillars’ primary food source — trembling aspen trees and poplars — are starting to leaf out in early to mid-May. Caterpillar larvae are already quite large and nearly finished feeding by the time most people notice them, Pohl said.

However, mortalities can be huge if cold weather occurs when the larva are small or newly emerged.

“All it takes is some poor weather when the caterpillars are just hatching to completely smash an infestation and end it right there,” Pohl said.

“So if the leaves are just starting to flush and the caterpillars pop out and then we get a hard frost or even a lot of cool, wet weather during that whole period, that can kill most or just about all of those little caterpillars.”

Natural predation can also contribute to significant caterpillar mortalities.

The tent caterpillar itself is an important food source for a number of parasitic insects, the most common of which is a parasitic fly that looks like a large, bristly housefly.

“These parasites normally build up in numbers over a couple of years, so by about the third year of a big (tent caterpillar) infestation, there’s an awful lot of these parasites … and they’ll kill 99 percent of the caterpillars in the pupal stage,” Pohl said.

For this reason, the forestry service does not endorse the use of chemicals to control tent caterpillar populations because they would also kill beneficial parasitic insects.

Trees rebound Tree damage caused by tent caterpillars is usually temporary and largely cosmetic, added Pohl.

Bad infestations can have a negative impact on a tree’s annual wood production, but they will rarely kill a tree.

In fact, aspen and poplar trees that have been stripped of their foliage in May and early June will normally produce a second flush of leaves after the caterpillar larva have finished feeding.

“We don’t recommend using chemicals because aspen trees are very resilient to this (pest),” Pohl said.

“They’ve been surviving tent caterpillar infestations for thousands of years and they will reflush a new set of leaves after being stripped.

“It looks horrible of course … but if you use chemicals, you will also wipe out that build-up of natural enemies.”

When caterpillar populations are particularly high, tree foliage can become significantly depleted two to three weeks before larval development is complete.

When this occurs, larval migration follows and populations can suffer high mortalities because of starvation.

Aspen and poplar are the caterpillars’ preferred feed source, but they will also feed on other deciduous tree species, such as maples, birch and elms, as well as coniferous species.

“They’ll eat just about any leafy tree, and they’ll even start chewing on spruce trees and cattails if they run out of leafy trees,” Pohl said.

Land managers who want to minimize damage to trees can choose from a number of pesticides that are registered in Canada for control of tent caterpillars, although the practice is not promoted by Natural Resources Canada.

The bacterial control agent Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) is an effective biological insecticide. After eating vegetation treated with B.t., caterpillar larvae will stop feeding and die within five days.

The product is available at specialty garden centres. brian.cross@producer.com

BAYER, MONSANTO

Petition opposes proposed merger SASKATOON NEWSROOM

More than 282,000 people have signed a petition opposing the proposed Bayer and Monsanto merger.

The petition claims such a merger would result in an agri-chemical monopoly that would threaten world food systems, raise prices for famers and consumers and threaten food security for millions.

SumOfUs, an international consumer watchdog group, spearheaded the petition. It sent the petition to Bayer chief executive officer Werner Baumann and intends to deliver it to regulatory authorities in the United States and Europe.

“The new mega-corporation would have annual revenues of over US$67 billion and would

dominate a third of global markets in seed sales and crop protection,” SumOfUs said.

“Monsanto seed traits are already found in 80 percent of corn and 90 percent of soybeans grown in the U.S. A Bayer-Monsanto mega-corporation would add cotton seeds to this list, together controlling 70 percent of the U.S. cotton market.”

SumOfUs also claimed the merger would run afoul of antitrust laws designed to protect the public because it would significantly reduce competition, which would likely result in higher prices for consumers.

“Given the consolidation already occurring in the first two links of the industrial food chain — seeds and pesticides — this merger is likely to violate anti-trust statutes,” the organization said.

Producers advised to test water because toxins can be deadly

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Summertime, and the living is easy, as the old song goes, but heat can make living all too easy for blue-green algae in farm dugouts and ponds.

Temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s C last week in parts of Western Canada were ideal for algal growth.

The algae, also known as cyano-

BUILT FOR SOIL PRODUCTIVITY

bacteria, is natural in surface water, but some types produce toxins that can be dangerous to livestock and pets when ingested. High levels can cause illness or death.

“The most obvious sign would be rapid death syndrome, where their nervous system makes their lungs stop working,” Alberta Agriculture water specialist Shawn Elgert said about cyanobacteria’s effect on livestock.

“It’s more difficult to tell some of

the other signs. That’s why it’s always good to treat cyanobacterial growth as if it has the potential to produce toxins and have a harmful effect. So take the conservative approach.”

Treatment options are available for blue-green algae blooms, but initial identification can be tricky.

The first step is to identify the algae by speaking with an expert or having the water tested.

Elgert said there is anecdotal evidence that adding a type of blue dye to the water can inhibit growth.

If it’s a matter of treating bluegreen algae already present, copper algacides, aluminum sulfate or hydrated lime are options.

“They are readily available. However, they can be difficult to apply, especially hydrated lime,” said Elgert. “It is caustic and one should be fully equipped with BPE (bioprocessing) equipment to protect themselves.

“Traditionally, a copper product has been used for treatment. They used to use copper sulfate, which is no longer registered for use in farm dugouts under the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. There are copper algacides in a liquid form … that are registered.”

Liquid copper algacides are available for blue-green algae but water cannot be used for up to one month after treatment

Elgert said a little bit of product can usually go a long way, so learn how much to use before administering chemicals to water.

Water that is treated with a liquid copper product should not be used for up to one month. Copper causes the algae cells to break open, releasing toxins all at once and making the water particularly dangerous.

However, prevention of bluegreen algae is always better than having to treat it, said Elgert.

Producers can reduce the chances of algal problems by keeping nutrients out of the water, planting buffer strips between the dugout and other parts of the farm and making steep slopes on the dugout.

“Aeration can help oxidize some of the nutrients out of the dugout,” said Elgert. “It’s not a magic bullet.

It doesn’t cure all problems, but it is a good value for the money spent on a system.”

TRANSPORTATION

Fragile contents: handle with care Livestock injuries during transport can be avoided with safe handling techniques, understanding of animal behaviour

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Bruising among cattle is often connected to incidents during transportation.

A large share of the blame can be attributed to human error in the way cattle are handled from the time they are staged until they are moved onto a trailer, said Ron Gill, an extension livestock specialist at Texas A & M University.

“Sometimes we make loading and unloading trucks very difficult and make it out to be some big problem when it really is not. We should learn to manage the livestock and the people around it,” he said.

“Cattle are quieter if they think it was their idea to get on the trailer.”

Gill said a good understanding of cattle behaviour and proper personnel training in animal movement can help avoid injuries to livestock and people. Understanding what cattle need to stay safe can lead to better designed facilities with non-slip flooring, pens without sharp corners and ramps angled correctly to prevent bruising or more serious injuries from stumbling or falling, he added.

“Sometimes it is pretty ugly in the way we get stock loaded at that final moment,” he said at the Fifth International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare held at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, June 8-10.

“If those cattle are cramming onto that truck in a stressed manner, they are going to have bruises.”

More studies are showing how stressful transportation can be for all classes of cattle.

Tiffany Lee, a veterinarian and PhD candidate at Kansas State University, investigated the welfare of fed cattle during transportation. Her research found more bruises than expected because cattle are much larger than they were 20 years ago and truck design does not always accommodate bigger animals.

The study found a higher prevalence of bruising on more than 50 percent of the carcasses compared to 23 percent reported in the 2011 national beef quality audit. Many bruises were along the animal’s back.

“Oftentimes the areas where the bruising occurs is along that dorsal mid-line,” she said.

“That dorsal mid-line is where a lot of the expensive cuts are going to be.”

She found a significant correlation between trauma that happened during unloading and carcass bruise prevalence, which she called an animal welfare issue.

Her study group observed cattle being unloaded at plants and noted injuries to the back, shoulder, hip and rib areas. Another observer checked the carcasses and used the

Colour of bruises was also noted.

Yellow bruises are probably more than 48 hours old, so these were excluded from the data.

The study observed 9,860 head of cattle and counted traumatic events 20 percent of the time. However, they found almost 70 percent of carcasses were bruised in one of nine locations. Bruises on the dorsal mid-line were often of medium size, measuring five to 15 centimetres in diameter.

Processing plants cut bruises out of carcasses and dispose of them,

which can result in considerable waste.

The research determined that the back bruises likely happened in the transport trailer rather than at the feedlot or in the slaughter plant holding areas.

The design of trailers has been the same for 20 years and the maximum height is 13 feet, six inches.

Some are a combination design, in which fat or feeder cattle may be hauled on two levels.

The floor of the upper compartment in a combination trailer has 69 inches of clearance and 66 inches in the belly section.

Ramps typically slide out from an upper deck, and a bracket that

FILE PHOTO

holds the ramps reduces the clearance space. Lee suspects the bracket rubs on the backs of the cattle as they move in and out.

“You basically have 55 and 5/8 inches clearance for those cattle coming up out of the belly and unloading,” she said.

“We have cows going in that are bigger than 57 inches, especially a Holstein.”

Trailers designed to haul only finished cattle are the same height, but the clearance room is slightly greater.

New trailer designs are possible to provide more clearance.

She said other risk factors on trailers also contribute to bruising, so

more work is needed.

Canadian studies have been examining transportation stresses for eight years under the leadership of Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lethbridge.

Cattle may be upset because of rough handling, loading, unloading and commingling with new animals. They may go through an auction and have been cut off from feed and water.

Researchers know cattle lose weight during transport, but they have also noted injuries.

Feeder and fed cattle tend to handle transportation well with few incidents, but a recent study showed cull cows suffer more problems.

A 2015 study that was part of a PhD thesis for University of Calgary veterinarian Christie Goldhawk assessed 673 cull beef cattle transported during the winter from southern Manitoba to an Alberta slaughter plant. This is a 15-hour trip on average.

Researchers already knew more welfare issues occur when transport exceeds 30 hours. These animals tend to be more fragile and could end up lame, down or dead on the trailer.

There was a tendency to underload these cows, and they ended up getting hurt more as they shifted around in the trailer. Some animals should never be shipped because they are in such poor shape they may not survive the trip.

“Even the best transporters, conditions and training cannot compensate for poor loading decisions,” Schwartzkopf-Genswein said.

They also checked the ride quality by measuring vibrations.

Lateral motion was greatest in the back of the trailer.

Assessments after slaughter found that 80 percent of all carcasses were bruised. Severe bruising was found on 18 percent and 14 percent were bruised in more than one location.

“These cattle are very susceptible.

They bruise more easily than fat cattle, and we can see it more readily,” Schwartzkopf-Genswein said.

The most severe bruising occurred in cattle in the doghouse, which is the compartment in the back of a trailer’s upper deck.

Bruising increased if cattle had to wait to be unloaded.

Half the loads had at least one cow that was compromised in some way. Three cows went down and had to be euthanized on the trailer.

“Poor cow condition at loading is the biggest risk factor in determining the condition at off loading,” she said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

PREDATION PREVENTION

Large herds in remote areas raise predation risk Cattle sector looks at strategies to reduce animal losses, including guardian animals

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Bale grazing, corn grazing and off-site watering have replaced traditional systems on many livestock farms in Western Canada over the last decade.

The practices save farmers time and money, but an Agriculture Canada biologist says the new approaches have a downside.

“A lot of the (production) innovation has … allowed producers to have larger herds in larger areas, while maintaining lower labour costs,” said Melanie Dubois, a biodiversity and ecosystems specialist with Ag Canada in Brandon. “(But) with the reduction in contact, an increase in time between wellness checks and an increased distance from human dwellings … there is a cost. You are trading off an elevated risk of predation for a reduction in labour costs.”

Dubois is a member of the Manitoba Livestock Predation Protect i o n Wo r k i n g G r o u p, w h i c h includes representatives from the provincial government, Manitoba Beef Producers and other livestock organizations.

They are studying ways to minimize wildlife-livestock conflict, such as the use of guardian animals like llamas, dogs and donkeys.

Dubois said the predation risk may be higher on some farms, but cattle producers haven’t adopted practices to prevent attacks.

“The use of guardian dogs for cattle, in Manitoba, is not particularly popular. It’s not something that’s been part of the arsenal,” she said. “If you were talk to any sheep producer, there is no way they would run sheep without a guardian animal.”

Cattle producers have said that llamas, donkeys and Great Pyrenees dogs cannot ward off wolves because a pack will simply kill the

guardian animals.

Dubois said research demonstrates that guardian animals are effective. It’s unfair to claim the animals cannot protect cattle if a producer hasn’t used them, she added.

“Guys who I do talk to, who do use guardian animals, see a significant decrease in predation,” she said.

“That being said, you have to match the number of dogs to the size of your herd and to the pressures … from the predators.”

Producers, wildlife co-exist Brian Lemon, general manager of MBP, said it’s hard to argue with Dubois’ logic.

Producers have moved to practices where cattle may be further from the farmyard, and the industry needs to find solutions appropriate for the production model.

“Predators are part of our landscape and they’re a public asset.

It’s when they become problems.

That’s what we need to deal with.

It’s not about dealing with wolves, it’s about dealing with wolves that get comfortable (attacking) cattle,” said Lemon, co-chair of the predation prevention working group.

“How do we find a way … for the public asset (wildlife) to co-exist with this industry…. I think guardian dogs have an effective impact … (but) we need to look at a suite of things.”

A number of producers in Manitoba’s Parkland region say a bounty on wolves is the solution. If the wolf population is out of control, the only way to manage the problem is reducing wolf numbers.

Research on wolves indicates that bounties are ineffective, Dubois said.

“They simply compensate by increasing reproductive rates and moving into territories they weren’t in before,” she said. “It has not

Lemon said there is a “time and a place” for removing problem predators, but it’s not a silver bullet solution.

“It’s a useful tool to have in your toolbox, but it needs to be used in conjunction with proactive, rather than reactive tools.”

MBP hopes to collaborate with Manitoba’s new government on strategies that will reduce predator attacks on livestock.

One possibility is an on-farm assessment program, in which biologists and cattle experts help farmers evaluate predation risk and develop solutions appropriate

ANIMAL WELFARE

Ranch says on-farm abattoir will reduce animal stress Alberta’s TK ranch facility will handle the slaughter of cattle, hogs and lambs and send them on for further processing

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

An Alberta ranching family has expanded their direct marketing efforts and opened their own abattoir.

Dylan and Colleen Biggs, owners of TK Ranch at Hanna, decided two years ago to build their own facility to reduce the stress of handling livestock and in their personal lives as they logged 2,000 kilometres a week delivering grass-fed beef, pork and lamb.

TK Ranch is an animal welfare approved operation, and with a new facility there is expected to be less stress on animals because they no longer have be loaded onto trucks and shipped.

Dylan Biggs is known throughout North America for his clinics on low stress livestock handling, so the abattoir fits in with their animal welfare goals.

“It is going to be much more positive for the animals because we won’t have to haul them anywhere and for us because we won’t have to get up at five in the morning to load cattle, pigs or sheep,” Colleen said.

The ranch has been direct marketing since 1997 and has animal welfare approval certification, which is a higher standard than the certified humane program.

Their customers have asked for good animal welfare and want to know how they handled.

“They want to know the animals

are treated with respect from birth to slaughter and especially at the kill,” she said.

Their on-farm facility kills the livestock, while another outlet east of Calgary will further process the products. Final inspection was June 3.

The Calgary site sits on 113 acres and they hope to add a storefront

and develop an agritourism element for clients looking for a drive to the country.

They bought the land in 2013 and w e re t h e i r ow n c o nt ra c t o r s, planned the facility and met with government officials to meet the regulations to continue selling their meat products direct, at grocery stores and restaurants.

“It was really very challenging to do but I went out of my way to meet with people who had lots of knowledge about meat processing,” Colleen said.

The Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA) partnered with TK Ranch on this initiative.

“We are the first company that has split slaughter from processing and it took a long time for ALMA to

wrap their head around that. It addresses the same issues many of these small abattoirs are facing in rural Canada. It is hard for them to get employees, it is hard for them and try and compete with the big box stores,” she said.

Being closer to Calgary they could draw on a larger population to hire employees at the 2,600 sq. foot facilty. They can kill about 15 cattle a week and have cooler space for 45 head, as well as room for pork and lamb.

For the last 18 years, everything was done at Duchess, two hours south of the farm, but since 2011, the business has grown 350 percent and had outgrown the facility. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

DART GUNS

Several factors to consider in remote drug delivery ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

R

emote drug delivery devices, also known as dart guns, are becoming more common in some modern cow-calf operations.

Veterinarians used the older style capture guns to tranquilize and “capture” cattle that needed further treatment. They would be loaded and transported if necessary or put in a smaller compound.

Veterinarians also used these guns to capture escaped stock in areas where there were no collection corrals.

Wildlife officers would also use them to catch and relocate wildlife.

But what about using the new RDDs to treat cattle, primarily those on large pastures?

The older capture guns were cumbersome and had hard metal darts that could inflict lots of damage.

Today’s RDDs shoot lightweight darts that are loaded easily and accurate to shoot.

The two I am most familiar with are the Dan-Inject system and the Pneu-Dart system. Both have darts that can take up to 10 cc of product each and have projection systems that accurately deliver product up to 20 to 30 metres.

The greatest issue with these RDDs is the difficulty making a proper diagnosis from a distance.

Close examination isn’t possible, and identification of the animal may be difficult.

Also, there is a question of whether the gun can deliver the product where it needs to go as required by verified beef production standards. Can we deliver the proper dosage?

may have been hit.

Never dart cattle on the run.

These dart guns offer producers easy and timely treatments, labour savings and minimal stress on the cattle.

Response is improved if the right treatment is given even one day or several hours earlier than usual.

Fewer treatments may be necessary.

Some darts can be used only once, while others are reusable.

They come out shortly after contact so can be gathered up. They are colourful, so seldom are lost.

Work with a veterinarian to develop standard operating procedures for common pasture conditions.

Veterinarians want to be sure

cattle are not treated unnecessarily, and we must be prudent in antimicrobial use. Diagnosing from a distance can cause problems.

Lameness might be one of the best conditions to treat with these devices. You can watch a couple days for natural improvement and then treat if necessary.

One person can do all the locating, identifying, diagnosing and treating in a cost effective manner.

An animal with a serious ailment that requires further testing or diagnosing might have to be caught and removed to a treatment area.

That is the sort of decision the person in charge of animal health must deal with on a case-by-case, day-by-day basis.

A firearms safety course isn’t required to use an RDD, but be careful because they are like a real gun. A firearms safety course may be a good idea if you have never handled guns.

RDDs might provide an easier way to treat animals, but it is still imperative that the animals be identified and the treatment recorded.

Have legible ear tags and carry a good set of binoculars on your pasture checks.

Understand product labels and withdrawal periods, don’t overtreat or treat unnecessarily and work with a veterinarian.

Roy Lewis works as a technical services veterinarian part time with Merck Animal Health in Alberta.

NOW THE GAME IS A WHOLE LOT

EZIER

Treatable conditions If you are going to use these devices to deliver drugs, particularly prescription drugs, your veterinarian should work out the protocols for the specific conditions you can treat.

Many modern medicines need only low dosages and have long lasting capabilities. Most are approved subcutaneously.

The darts can be used with shorter needles, which means that although it isn’t guaranteed, most of the product can be delivered subcutaneously. The neck or shoulder areas are decent targets with these accurate rifles when shooting mature animals from the side.

Take into account whether darting a calf, yearling, cow or bull because the skin thickness is different between these groups.

Always beware of the location of the jugular vein.

Most products will likely spark a severe allergic reaction if given intravenously. Have epinephrine on hand whenever medication is injected.

EXPERIENCE HELPS

Lifelong members win 4-H On Parade Starting young proves valuable for grand champion bovine and sheep owners

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

For many rural children, the 4-H experience teaches valuable life skills and provides an outlet for high achievers.

At this year’s 4-H On Parade, Canada’s largest 4-H event, major highlights include the market lamb and steer sale.

The big winners from the steer and sheep events started as preschoolers in the Cleavers program, a pre-4-H program. Both of the winners expressed hopes for a career in ranching.

Lane Woods of Blackie, Alta., a member of the Foothills 4-H Sheep and Multi Club, won the grand champion market lamb at the event held June 3-5 at the Calgary Stampede grounds.

He showed a Southdown-Hampshire cross and while he came into the show hoping to place higher than his friend, he did not expect to win the big award.

At a g e 1 4 , Wo o d s h a s b e e n involved in 4-H for 10 years. He attributed that to the influence of his mother, Jennifer Woods. She is an international consultant on animal handling and good welfare practices. She is also a club leader.

“I probably wouldn’t be in 4-H without her,” Woods said.

“I don’t see myself out of 4-H until I can’t do it anymore.”

His mother emphasizes good animal welfare practices be used by

club members.

“It is something she drills into our heads,” he said.

At the farm at Blackie, south of Calgary, he has a flock of 10 ewes and 23 lambs of crossbred sheep.

During the auction that wraps up the three-day event, his 136 pound lamb sold for $7.75 a pound.

T h e re s e r v e c ha m p i o n w a s shown by John Winkler of the Bow Valley Beef and Multi Club and sold for $7 a pound.

At the end of the sale, a market lamb was auctioned off to support a charity. This year the Bow Valley club raised the lamb and donated the money to the Canadian Lyme Disease Association. The lamb weighing 128 pounds sold for $119.50 per pound.

Steer champion Kylie Sibbald made family history at the 4-H On Parade show with her Maine Anjou-Angus steer named Thunder. It was named grand champion, an honour Sibbald’s father, Jay Sibbald, received at the same show in 1988, when he was 16. Both are members of the Jumping Pound Beef Club, representing a region west of Calgary.

At age 12, Kylie is a serious show person. She and this steer travelled to eight other shows this year and always made it to the final champion division, said her mother, Kari Sibbald.

Kylie Sibbald had another ribbon to add to her collection after being named grand champion with her Maine Anjou-Angus steer at the 4-H On Parade event. She began showing cattle at age nine. on a multi-generation ranch. Jay and Kari dispersed their purebred Angus herd a few years ago, but Kylie and her two sisters have decided to return to their roots and rebuild a herd of registered cattle.

Kylie started 4-H as a Cleaver and began showing cattle at age nine.

As soon as her champion sold, she planned to shop around for next year’s steer. She also won reserve champion in Calgary last year. Both steers were bought from Don and Chase Martin show cattle.

She makes her own selections but has to explain her reasons to her father before buying.

Maintaining show cattle is a big part of her life. Kylie and her sisters rinse and groom their cattle every day so the animals and girls get to know one another.

Daily workouts with the animals provide confidence so she doesn’t have to worry about a 1,200 lb. animal losing its cool when she goes before the judges.

“It’s all about them knowing you.

And, you to stay calm,” she said.

Her time in 4-H is a means to an end for a youngster interested in ranching and raising purebred cattle.

“It gives you a good name and it gives you a chance to win,” she said.

The current volatility on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is a strong indicator of uncertain calf prices this fall, says Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp., which administers the Western Livestock Price Insurance pilot program in the province.

May 31 was the last day to buy calf policies for the coming fall in all four western provinces. Policies for feeder and finished cattle and hogs can be bought year-round.

Last year many who participated saw the benefits of the program.

In Saskatchewan, 64 percent of calf price insurance policies paid out more than $4.4 million to producers.

About 120,000 calves, or 15 percent of the calf crop, were insured through 1,018 policies, the corporation said.

In Alberta, producers bought 1,255 calf policies and saw payments of $3.984 million.

In Manitoba, 126 calf policy claims paid out almost $585,000. A total of 208 policies were pur-

chased on 16,366 head.

WLPIP is less popular in British Columbia, where 112 policies on 15,215 cattle were issued last spring.

There have been calls for WLPIP to become a permanent part of the federal-provincial business risk management insurance program.

The four-year pilot was announced in January 2014. It is based on the program Alberta implemented in 2009. karen.briere@producer.com

FOODGRAINS BANK

Aid programs must focus on support for female farmers, says report

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Many agriculture aid and assistance programs must be redesigned if they are to help hundreds of millions of female farmers in the developing world, says a Canadian Foodgrains Bank Report.

Women do much of the world’s farming, and much of the world’s most important, life-sustaining farming, but farming, cultural, financial and governmental systems don’t treat them fairly.

“Research shows that genderblind technological innovations are not, in fact, gender neutral,” says the CFB’s Equal Harvests report.

“In practice, they can reduce men’s work burden while increasing the burden women bear.”

It’s not just technological systems that favour men, the report says.

Almost all agriculture systems and programs are based on assumptions that men will do most of the farming, so women’s needs aren’t generally considered.

That’s a problem because much of the developing world’s farming is done by women, and it’s farming that directly feeds poor families.

Failing to account for women farmers in program design hurts a family’s ability to feed itself and prevents women from earning extra money from agriculture that could lift the family out of basic subsistence living.

Making the loans, equipment and inputs such as fertilizer available to women farmers would have a big impact, says the report.

United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization “research shows that if women had the same access to productive resources as men, they could increase yields on their farms by 20-30 percent,” says the report, which is subtitled How Investing in Agricultural Development can Empower Women.

Current programs and systems designed for men focus almost entirely on farming or labouring, whereas women need to balance production agriculture with looking after children and running a household.

Off-farm education and development often isn’t possible for a female farmer who can’t go away from the family home.

Food security and economic development could be improved if the situation of women farmers is included in foreign-aid supported programs and projects, the report says, and that should be a consideration with future funding, which the CFB hopes to see return to Canada’s $450 million per year level of the 2009-12 period.

“When women are empowered, their agricultural productivity rises dramatically. This in turn helps reduce poverty and spur economic growth,” concludes the report.

“It leads to much improved food and nutrition security. It enables greater resilience to climate change and other environmental risks. And it improves women’s status in their homes, communities and wider society. Women’s empowerment is vital in its own right.”

ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT

Joint effort targets invasive species LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The four western provinces and Yukon have signed a joint agreement to fight invasive species, especially aquatic species like zebra and quagga mussels.

In a June 6 news release, Alberta Environment and Parks said the deal would allow the Br itish Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the territory to coordinate their efforts and share resources to keep invasive species out of their waters.

“Aquatic invasive species are a real threat to Alberta’s environment and infrastructure,” said Environment and Parks minister Shannon Phillips in the release.

“This partnership between western Canadian jurisdictions will help ensure our waterways are protected and our irrigation systems continue to work properly.”

Herb Cox, Saskatchewan’s environment minister said the agreement was announced during Environment Week as a way to help the environment and encourage collaboration among various sectors and agencies.

The collaboration will involve such things as pre-planning watercraft inspection, co-ordinating

inspections of watercraft at shared borders and combining resources to mount a rapid response if invasive species are found.

Zebra and quagga mussels have caused havoc with waterways and systems in parts of the United States and in Eastern Canada. They have been found in Manitoba but so far none have invaded provinces further west, even though the mussels have been found on watercraft during inspections.

The mussels can multiply quickly, clogging equipment, pipes and pumps, and they also filter nutrients from water, thus damaging ecosystems and harming native aquatic species.

Once they invade, the mussels are almost impossible to eradicate.

Concern over that potential caused the Alberta government to impose mandatory boat inspections at various border crossings. Some of those involve specially trained mussel-sniffing dogs.

The government estimates mussel invasion could cost Alberta more than $75 million annually in infrastructure damage and loss of recreational opportunities.

BEE HEALTH

Opinions, studies on neonicotinoids contradictory Farmers, apiculturists and ag researchers say many studies citing harm to bee populations don’t hold up

BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ontario’s plan to restrict neonicotinoid use is on track now that a request to appeal the new regulations was denied, but the debate is far from over.

Ontario farmers cannot use the seed treatments on 50 percent of their crops this year and on any of them next year unless they submit crop and soil assessments that prove their crops are significantly infected.

Agrologists say the new regulations could come at a cost because some pests can devour a crop in a few days.

Grain Farmers of Ontario asked for an appeal of the regulations in March, but the Court of Appeal of Ontario denied the request in April.

“The decision is both frustrating and disheartening for myself, our farmer-members and the grain industry,” said GFO chair Mark Brock.

The big question continues to be whether neonics are a significant threat to bee health and if bee populations are declining.

The Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists doesn’t think so.

“Overall, the reported national colony loss is one of the lowest losses since 2006-07 and repre-

There continues to be skepticism about the contention that neonicotinoids harm bee populations. | FILE PHOTO sents a decrease of 34.4 per cent from 2013-14 winter losses,” it said in its latest Annual Colony Loss Report.

Shelley Hoover, a research scientist with Alberta Agriculture, agreed.

“The honeybee population in Canada, we actually have more now than we’ve ever had.”

Hoover said detrimental effects depend significantly on how the bees are exposed to pesticides and

the level of exposure.

“There’s a couple things going on: one is that different species have different sensitivities, so you can’t expect a leaf cutter bee or a bumblebee to behave the same in terms of toxicity levels as a honeybee,” she said. “(And) it really depends what else is in the landscape, so there’s contradictory studies because you can’t easily make a honeybee only forage on the field that you’ve

treated. They’ll fly a five kilometre radius around.”

Jon Entine, executive director of the Genetic Literacy Project and senior fellow at the Institute for Food and Agricultural Literacy in California, recently documented the back and forth of neonicotinoid approval in an article called, Bee health update: latest field studies conclude neonicotinoids not key problem.

“Studies that focused on the

effects of supposedly field-realistic neonic exposure on individual bees — on life spans and foraging abilities — end up confirming few or no observable differences in the health of bee colonies or in the agriculturally meaningful measures of their pollinating activities,” he wrote.

“Three recent studies that confirm and reinforce the results of all other large-scale field studies to date — field-realistic exposure of bees to neonic pesticides does not harm bee colonies — have gone largely unreported.”

Mikael Henry, a researcher with the French National Institute for Agricultural Research, has also found that the media has reported on his studies in pieces rather than collectively.

He said the evidence showed that individual bees may have trouble coping with neonics, but the colonies would compensate by increasing brood production.

Hoover doesn’t see the use of neonics ending.

“Here in Alberta, we have a lot of neonics used on our fields, but over the last few years, we’ve had relatively low levels of mortality, even though we are using these products,” she said.

“I think we need to start talking about healthier agro-eco systems, not just pointing fingers.” tennessa.wild@producer.com

There is an as yet unexplored human cost to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.

Dr. Egan Brockhoff, an Alberta veterinarian who has seen PED do its deadly work in Asian and American hog barns, has also seen the emotional toll it takes on hog producers who have it in their barns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heartbreaking disease. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just going to be devastating to the animals, its devastating for the people,â&#x20AC;? Brockhoff said in an interview April 2 after speaking to Lethbridge area hog producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think without question it is extremely devastating to them. You see people just quitting, in the big barns. Some people give it three or four days and then they just say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to watch (piglets die) for the next three or four weeks. So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a human cost to this disease that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talked a lot about.â&#x20AC;?

PED virus is fatal to young piglets and producers can expect near total mortality of newborns.

Older pigs stand a better chance of recovery.

It is spread by fecal-oral contact, and even a small amount of virus can grow and cause an outbreak, with symptoms of extreme diarrhea and vomiting in pigs.

Forty-seven Ontario barns were confirmed with PED as of April 4. Single cases in Manitoba, Quebec and Prince Edward Island were controlled before the virus could spread.

The most recent Ontario cases were confirmed in finisher barns, and Brockhoff said PED can be easily missed in older animals because diarrhea can be attributed to several causes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often very subtle in mature pigs. A lot of people can miss the disease in a grow-finish population,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Speedier handlings wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut carryout Faster rail | New federal orders will have little effect on stocks

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grain delivery mandate wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much impact on Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burdensome carryout, say analysts.

Agriculture Canada is forecasting 22.8 million tonnes of ending stocks for grains and oilseeds in 2013-14, which is not likely to be adjusted much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still leaning towards leaving our carryout, not making significant changes to it,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Beckman, an oilseed analyst with Agriculture Canada.

AG NOTES HOG INDUSTRY DEVELOPS HIRING HANDBOOK Manitoba Pork has developed a new hiring handbook to help producers find, hire and retain workers.

The organization surveyed independent pork producers to assess the challenges they faced in hiring as well as identifying possible solutions.

Survey questions included finding workers, retention problems, the foreign worker program, salaries and training.

The handbook, which will be available this summer, includes information about screening resumes, reference checking, interview questions and where producers can advertise.

It also includes examples of letters of offer and regret letters to unsuccessful candidates and addresses job orientation and what the new worker needs to know before entering the barn.

Animal attire: fashion trend or functional apparel?

Dogs, calves, horses and goats — if they need to stay clean or warm there are garments to satisfy

BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Tim Skelly, owner of a business called Muddy Mutts, has had a surge in sales since an online debate questioned whether dogs should wear pants.

People were torn between a twolegged pant covering the hindquarters and a four-legged pant covering the under belly.

Skelly has been in the four-legged pant business for years, and satisfied customers joined in the debate by posting photos of their dogs wearing Skelly’s design.

The nylon waders are meant to keep dogs warm and dry when the weather could compromise their clean coats. Owners no longer have to clean and dry their dog after a walk in wet conditions.

The Ottawa-based company sells most of its products online. The recent frenzy resulted in news stations across the United States picking up the story, and Skelly sold more Muddy Mutts in a few weeks than he did during the three years he’s owned the company.

The dog pants come in six sizes and two colours. The website explains how to size the dog and offers customer assistance for those in-between sizes. The waders sell for around $70 a pair.

Animal clothing is a niche business, and Skelly is happy for the

influx in sales.

An animal clothing market is emerging, and Muddy Mutts isn’t the only trend seen on the farm these days.

Betty Wyatt is the owner of Cozy Caps for Calves, another Canadian animal clothing company based near Carlyle, Sask.

Her son urged her more than 15 years ago to help frozen calves on the farm that were losing their ears to Jack Frost.

Wyatt put together a few test models before finally having a practical prototype that would do the job. The cap had to be functional, breathable, washable and affordable.

She made a few out of polar fleece material and put them to the test.

The calves’ ears were staying warm and dry and completely protected from frostbite. The success has saved many ears and eased her son’s concerns.

Wyatt sells her creations online at $14 apiece and offers bundle deals.

She has sold hundreds across Canada and the U.S. and to a few European countries.

The caps can be ordered in three sizes. The feedback has been positive, and the business has grown because of customer reorders and referrals.

Wyatt advises farmers to rub the cap on the calf before putting it on so that the scent isn’t disrupted for

the mother.

She continues her small business from home with help from family and is always welcome to more orders.

Royal horses On a grander scale, a company from Wiltshire, England, is supplying Snuggy Hoods to the Queen of England.

The company makes and designs attire for horses but is expanding the line. It’s a family business that began with Marilyn Harford more than 25 years ago.

Her daughter, Becky GodfreyFaussett, now runs the worldwide company that began in the attic of her childhood home. Her mother realized there was a demand for quality products at more affordable prices and developed the product herself.

The company creates bibs, rugs and hoods in 10 sizes. They use synthetic and mixed fibres from Lycra to fleece, depending on the garment’s purpose.

Showing professionals appreciate the design of the hoods because they look good but also keep plaits in place before a big show. They can also help train the mane and keep off flies off.

The company has supplied Buckingham Palace with its products for more than 10 years and received a

royal warrant from the Queen for its services in 2012.

Dana Niver didn’t receive a royal warrant, but her goats do receive royal treatment. She is the owner of the Goat Coat Shop, which creates custom coats for dogs, pigs, ponies and, of course, goats.

She discovered the need to keep animals warm while working for an animal shelter in New York.

She searched the market and found designs she considered impractical, so she made her own pattern and went to work.

Niver said she has found her flock to be healthier since she started using her goat coats. They recover faster after surgery or an ailment, she added.

The coats come in 14 colours, and each garment is hand stitched and made from lightweight, windproof and waterproof material.

Niver sells 800 coats a season, and prices vary, depending on the sizes that are ordered. tennessa.wild@producer.com

The Canadian Angus 2015 Auction Market of the Year Award was recently presented to Cowtown Livestock Exchange of Maple Creek, Sask.

The 35-year-old locally owned company sells more than 50,000 head a year. Its capacity is 4,000 head of cattle with 50 feed and water pens.

The award recognizes auction markets that promote Angus cattle.

PROGRAM RAISES MONEY FOR FOOD BANK Olds College and the Mountain View Food Bank are collaborating to address the increasing demand for food in the community.

The college will support the food bank by donating campus resources and promoting the initiative to its stakeholder network.

The college and the food bank will encourage beef donations to the food bank, which students from the college’s National Meat Training Centre will process.

The goal is to fill 259 hampers a month, including three pounds of donated hamburger. This would require a donation of two animals per month.

Processing will cost roughly $150 per animal, which covers the cost of wrapping and governmentmandated labelling. The food bank will need cash donations to cover these costs.

The Mountain View Food Bank Society has operating since 1987 and helps more than 250 families a month. It says there has been a 20 percent increase this year in requests for food hampers.

The food bank will provide tax receipts based on the market value of the donated animal.

PRAIRIE PORTFOLIO

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A grassroots effort to save a concrete grain elevator from the wrecking ball in Raymore, Sask., has hit a roadblock, but there is still a glimmer of hope that the building can be preserved.

Officials with Cargill confirmed June 2 that the company will not be putting its Raymore elevator on the market, despite a proposal from local residents who want to buy the building.

The 30-year-old facility is owned

by Cargill but it sits on leased land that is owned by Canadian National Railway.

“Cargill has reviewed your proposal (to buy the facility) and shared highlights of such proposal with CN,” Cargill’s Jeff Wildeman wrote in a June 2 letter to local businessowner and prospective buyer Terry Fazakas.

“After review, CN has indicated that it cannot release Cargill from the obligations of its current lease and therefore, will not permit the outright transfer of the leased land.”

However, on June 6, Cargill spokesperson Connie Tamoto said the company is still involved in discussions with CN. “After sending our (June 2) letter to Mr. Fazakas, we have subsequently reached out to CN again for further discussion and clarity,” Tamoto told The Western Producer.

“As you may appreciate, these types of discussions take time.”

Fazakas has been leading a grassroots community effort to save the elevator.

He and others in the community would like to see the facility preserved and used to attract new businesses and create new jobs.

Fazakas contacted Cargill earlier this year and expressed an interest in buying the elevator.

Fazakas has also contacted CN about acquiring title to the land.

He said the railway is concerned over potential liabilities and complications related to breaking its lease with Cargill.

“It would be nice if we could somehow get a deal … but I’m kind of at an end right now,” Fazakas said recently. “I don’t know what else we can do.”

Raymore’s town council has yet to issue a demolition permit, he added.

A permit would be required before the facility could be destroyed.

The fate of the Raymore elevator has prompted terse comments from the province’s farmers, many

Farmers say the closure of the Cargill elevator at Raymore, Sask., will eliminate one more delivery point, forcing more heavy truck traffic onto the provincial highway system. | TERRY FAZAKAS PHOTO of whom have seen a significant reduction in the number of rural delivery points for grain and a corresponding increase in the distance their grain must be trucked.

Observers say the closure of the Raymore elevator will eliminate one more delivery point, forcing more heavy truck traffic onto the provincial highway system.

Dave Marzolf, a producer from Central Butte, Sask., said Cargill’s decision to demolish the elevator makes no sense.

He said the province’s highway

system is still paying the price for grain industry rationalization that took place 25 to 30 years ago.

“The infrastructure in Saskatchewan can’t take what happened 25 years ago, and if grain companies consolidate one more time, it’s nonsense,” Marzolf said.

“With a couple of tin cans on the side, that (Raymore) facility could easily go to a 100 car spot.”

Marzolf said governments that are struggling to maintain provincial highway systems should take steps to prevent elevator closures

and ensure that as much grain as possible is moved by rail.

“The government allows these closures to happen … because (Cargill and CN) are private corporations,” he said.

“But private corporations aren’t paying the highway infrastructure bills.”

Fazakas has contacted the Saskatchewan government but was still waiting for a response as of June 7. brian.cross@producer.com

Viterra opens new Sask. grain terminal SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Viterra has officially opened another new inland grain terminal in Western Canada, this one at Kindersley, Sask.

Viterra owned another elevator in Kindersley, but that facility was sold to Richardson International in 2013 by Viterra’s parent company, Glencore, along with 18 other country elevators across the West.

The Kindersley facility will have 28,000 tonnes of grain storage and loading capacity for 108 rail cars.

INFLOW AND OUTFLOW

Taking stock: where are you financially at mid-year?

PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

I

was recently talking to a farmer who had just finished seeding.

The lion’s share of the investment in growing a crop had been made, and some of the urgency was gone. As a result, it was time to focus on the things that were taking up space on the “corner of the desk,” such as spending time getting a handle on what the farm’s financial picture looks like mid-year.

Such a snapshot of an operation’s financial position will provide information that can be used to support management decisions for the rest of the year.

The farmer’s crop rotations and initial budgets had been developed several months ago. Plans for capital purchases were included in the projections, and financing was arranged. Through the winter, the planning began to crystallize and ultimately resulted in the crop that’s in the ground.

However, for the farmer in question, the “plan” was taking a turn.

Weather caused him some grief and resulted in additional expenses.

As well, he was able to secure unexpected income by custom seeding. He also took advantage of pricing opportunities and now has priced 40 to 50 percent of his wheat and canola for delivery.

For this farmer, perhaps the biggest deviation from the plan was a major repair bill of $35,000. The comment — spoken from the glass half full perspective shared by many farmers — was that “at least it will be like new.”

Which brings us back to the importance of a mid-year review of where farms stand financially.

How have all the events and transactions that have occurred in the past couple of months of intense operational focus affected the farm’s financial position?

You can calculate a mid-year statement of earnings, but at this stage it’s largely a guess with the crop in the field. The most impor-

tant update is on your cash position and how this may affect cash flow for the rest of the year.

Farms should develop monthly cash flow projections annually.

Many farmers are required to provide these statements to lenders to support applications for operating credit. However, watching cash flow is an important management practice even if your financial situation is strong.

Many farmers tell me that projecting cash flow is a waste of time because it’s impossible to predict the future. It’s my experience that the first effort at projecting cash flow can be challenging, but it gets easier over time.

This results in a more accurate estimation of cash inflow and out-

flow and better information when facing management decisions such as those that the farmer I was talking to will be facing.

The process is as follows: • Develop a monthly projection of cash inflow and outflow. Software programs are available that will help with the task, but a simple spreadsheet will also work great.

• Create columns to compare actual transactions to the projections, such as this example: • Total the variance for all cash inflow and outflow for each month.

• Compare totals to what was projected and analyze how the yearto-date position will affect decisions for the balance of the year.

The facility is Viterra’s second new construction in the area in the past six years. In 2010, the company opened a terminal in Sexsmith, Alta., 150 kilometres away.

“We take great care to evaluate our footprint and make the targeted investments necessary to support our industry today and well into the future,” said Kyle Jeworski, Viterra’s president for North America.

The Grimshaw facility has 30,000 tonnes of grain storage and 104 railcar loading capacity.

The farmer in question had planned to replace his combine before the fall, but with all that happened this spring, including the major repair bill, he wasn’t sure if this was still an option. To know for sure, he planned to do a cash flow update similar to what’s included in the table.

BASF supports the use of Heat LQ for pre-harvest for red lentils, however we are still in the process of aligning the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) in the European Union with other trade jurisdictions. NOTE: Heat LQ is supported for pre-harvest use on red lentil varieties only. DO NOT apply Heat LQ pre-harvest to green lentils. Please check with your grain buyer prior to the pre-harvest application of Heat LQ in red lentils.

Always read and follow label directions.
